- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (instead of vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons date syrup (instead of the sugar and to induce some dark color as no bean sauce is used in this recipe)
- 2 tablespoons water

Steps to make Stir-fried eggplant with chicken (a twist on P.F. Chang’s stir-fried spicy eggplant recipe):
- Steam the eggplants and the carrots separately
- In a wok or large pan add the 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the garlic, the ginger and the sesame seeds.. Oh the fragrance!!😋😋
- Sauté the steamed carrots first for about 1 minute then add steamed eggplants and drizzle some sesame oil on top. Carefully mix for about 5 minutes. Note that since steaming has been used, it reduces a lot the cooking time of the vegetables at this phase. Basically we are just coating them with flavor. You can vary the amount of time for steaming and make it less steaming but more sautéing time with oil or the opposite like what I did. I chose the latter to give it a healthier twist.
- Now add the already chicken cubes on top of step 3.
- Prepare the sauce by mixing the cornstarch with the water, adding the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, chili flakes, and the date syrup. If you need to use more water you can add the amount of water remaining or less of it as desired.
- Pour the sauce prepared in step 5 to step 4 and wait until it reduces
- Slice green onions to garnish and serve with white steamed rice. Bon appetit!👌
