Ingredients

6 cloves garlic, minced

1-3 red chillies (including seeds), depending on how spicy you like it

1 Chinese (large, with dark purple skin) eggplant, or 2 (thinner, with light purple skin) Japanese eggplants

1/4 cup water

2-3 Tbsp. oil

roughly 1/2 cup (or more) fresh basil

SAUCE:

1 Tbsp. fish sauce

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

2 Tbsp. oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)

1 tsp. brown sugar

1 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 Tbsp. water (mix until cornstarch is dissolved)

1 tablespoon of sasemi seed (optional)

Directions

Mix cornstarch and water in a separate cup or bowl. Set both aside.

Chop the eggplant up into bite-size pieces (be sure to leave the peel on - this is where most of the nutrients are).

In a large frying pan or wok, over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, chilli, and eggplant. Stir-fry for 5 minutes. When the wok or frying pan becomes dry, add a little of the water (a few Tbsp. at a time).

Add all sauces and continue stir-frying for 5 more minutes, or until the eggplant is soft . Add the cornstarch/water mixture. Stir well so that the sauce thickens uniformly.

In a serving platter, sprinkle basil leaves and sesami seed over top. Serve over rice.

Hi,I liked this but my mom and dad don't care for fish sauce, so we just missed it out, but I was wondering if you have and suggestions for a substitute?

You don't have to put fish sauce, try to cook it without it, just add a little more of oyster sauce...that all you need..oyster sauce have enough salt in it. I put them in my, actually if you don't like it, you don't have to put it in.....try with extra oyster sauce and see how you like it if not....you can alway put salt..Hope you mom and day enjoy it...let me know...

Might try this basic marinade instead. It can be thickened to make a nice sauce.

Marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
1 dash pepper
1 tablespoon sherry
