Aubergine With Garlic Sauce Recipe

• 1 x Aubergine, 1 to 1.5 pounds, cut in to 1"x3" strips and soaked in cool water for 15 min. Drain and shake dry.
• 2 x Scallions, cut in 1/2 inch pcs
• 4 x Cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 x Jalapeno, seeded and minced, optional (I left it out)
• 1 tsp Oil (up to 2)
• 1/4 c. Lite soy sauce
• 1/2 c. Water
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch

1. Heat oil in nonstick skillet or possibly wok, and add in aubergine, tossing to coat.
2. Cook 2 min uncovered, then add in garlic and onion and cook, covered, till aubergine is limp (about 5 min).
3. Add in sauce ingredients, and cook and stir till thick.
4. Serve over rice.
5. The kicker of this recipe, is which it originallly called for 1/2 c. of oil to cook the aubergine in!!
6. We didn't miss it a bit.
7. I als added a few drops of sesame oil before serving, and would try this with a bit of fresh ginger added with the garlic as well.
8. My hubby also agreed which we should try it with chicken in place of the aubergine for a meat dish.
9. I'll verify the ingredients, and post Monday if there is a correction, but it's so simple I'm pretty sure it's correct.
