Ingredients
  

  • 2 Aubergines
  • 225 g Minced Pork
  • 2 tablespoons spicy bean sauce I used Lee Kum Kee's Chilli Bean Sauce (Toban Djan)
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • Dash of pepper
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 stalk spring onions chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
 

  • Before starting to cook, marinate the pork with 1/2 tablespoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon corn starch, a bit of pepper, and a few drops of water. Let the pork marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut the aubergine into rectangular strips. Cook the aubergine in a wok or pan until it is cooked through on medium high heat. Once cooked, remove from wok. Wash your wok because you will be using it to cook the rest of the dish and don't want the dish to burn!
  • Make a thickening sauce with 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 cup water. You will need these sauces in the next step.
  • Heat your wok and cook the spring onions, garlic, and ginger for 3-4 minutes. Then mix in the pork, bean paste and soy sauce. Once the pork is cooked through, mix in the cooked aubergine from step 2. Lastly, mix in the thickening sauce and cook to the consistency you like.
  • Serve with some chopped spring onions as a garnish on steamed rice.
