INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the pork and the first measure of soy sauce in a bowl. Set aside.
Quarter each unpeeled oriental eggplant lengthwise. Place the strips
together and cut crosswise into 1/2" pieces.
NOTE: If using a Globe eggplant, peel and cut into 1/2" squares.
Transfer to a medium bowl. Blend in the onion. Combine the sherry with the
oyster sauce, the second measure of soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in
another small bowl. Set aside. Heat the wok until it is very hot. Pour in
the peanut oil. Add the garlic, chili paste and ginger. Cook several
seconds - do not allow to brown. Add the pork mixture. Stir fry, pressing
the pork against the sides of the wok until the meat loses its raw color.
Add the eggplant mixture. Stir in the sauce, adding more sherry if needed
to make the liquid cover about half of the stir fry mixture. Cover. Cook
over high heat until the eggplant softens and is no longer raw tasting
(about 3 minutes for oriental eggplant, 5 minutes for Globe eggplant). Add
sherry or chicken stock as required if the wok dries out during this time.
Continue cooking, uncovered, until most of the sauce has evaporated. Adjust
seasonings. Serve at once.
