Subj : NYT E-Z Dinner - 84 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sat Feb 03 2024 16:25:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Sweet & Sour Eggplant w/Garlic Chips Categories: Vegetables, Herbs Yield: 3 servings 4 cl Garlic; very thinly sliced 1/4 c Sunflower oil Salt 3 md Japanese eggplants; - quartered lengthwise then - cut in 2" pieces 3 tb Soy sauce 2 tb Light brown sugar 1 tb Rice wine vinegar 1 ts Red-pepper flakes 1/2 c Fresh cilantro; rough - chopped 1/4 c Fresh basil leaves; rough - chopped Set a small sieve over a heatproof bowl. Combine garlic and oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium-low. Cook garlic until light golden brown and crisp and the bubbles have subsided, 3 to 4 minutes, then quickly strain the garlic chips into the sieve set over the bowl. Transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate, season with kosher salt and set aside. Transfer the garlic oil back to the skillet. Heat the garlic oil over medium-high. Add the eggplant in batches, adding more as they shrink in size and space permits, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cut sides of eggplant are golden-brown and skins are slightly wrinkled, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and red-pepper flakes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, tossing the eggplant to coat, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with fresh herbs and garlic chips. By: Sue Li Yield: 2 to 4 servings RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
