Directions
Yu Hsiang Eggplant (Aubergine), I have not tried this recipe myself it is submited for an ISO request. This spicy eggplant dish is a little sweet, a tiny bit sour, and highly flavorful. The dish tastes just as good if you omit the meat. Eggplant is such a meaty vegetable in texture that it’ll still make a very filling meal, when paired with a big bowl of steamed rice.
