Fragrant-Eggplant

== Description ==
* Serves 4
== Ingredients ==
* 1 large Eggplant
* 4 tbl soy sauce
* 1 tbl cornstarch
* 3 tbl Sugar
* 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
* 1/4 cup water
* 1 tsp crushed dried red pepper
* 6 slices ginger, about the size and thickness of a quarter
* 4 scallions, chopped, separate white and green parts
== Directions ==
# Cut stem end off Eggplant. Dice Eggplant into small cubes. 
# Sprinkle Eggplant with salt and place in a colander to drain. Let sit for 15 minutes. 
# Squeeze as much liquid out as possible.
# In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, Sugar, vinegar and water.
# Heat 1 tbl dry sherry in a large skillet or wok. Add red peppers and stir. Add ginger, white part of scallion. 
# Stir fry briefly until ginger becomes fragrant. Add the squeezed Eggplant and saute approximately 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until Eggplant is thoroughly cooked. 
# You shouldn't have any trouble with sticking because the Eggplant still has a bit of moisture in it but if it does, add a little bit of water or sherry.
# Add soy sauce mixture and cook over high heat until most of the liquid is evaporated and Eggplant is thoroughly coated with reduced sauce - about 5 minutes.
# Combine 2 tbl water with cornstarch.
# Add chopped green part of scallions and sherry mixed with cornstarch. Stir and cook until thick. 
# Serve hot over plain rice. kwvegan vegan
