Spicy Eggplant Mince Stir Fry

Say goodbye to ordinary vegetarian dinners and hello to this mouthwatering Chinese Eggplant and Mince dish! We’ve transformed the classic recipe into a delightful plant-based version using Fry’s pea protein mince. The silky texture of the eggplants, combined with their ability to absorb flavors from the sauce, creates a harmonious blend in this dish. Serve it over a bowl of steamed rice for a truly satisfying meal.

Ingredients

2 eggplants
1 tablespoon cornflour
Salt (to taste)
1 cup oil (for frying)
2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
½ cup spring onions
1-inch piece ginger, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Fry’s pea protein mince ( or mince of your choice)
1 tablespoon onion, chopped
2 red chilies, sliced

For the Sauce

2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mushroom sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cooking wine
1 tablespoon doubanjiang (optional)

For the Slurry

2 tbsp cornstarch
½ cup water

Directions

Slice the eggplants into thick slices, keeping the skin on.
Generously sprinkle salt over the slices and let them marinate for 5 minutes to draw out moisture.
Strain the water, rinse with clean water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Coat the eggplant slices with cornflour.
In a pan, heat 1 cup of oil over medium heat. Fry the eggplant slices until they are golden and almost crispy. Remove and set aside.
In another pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Sauté the sliced spring onions, minced ginger and garlic until fragrant.
Add the pea protein mince and chopped onion and sliced red chilies to the pan, stirring until the mince is cooked through.
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mushroom sauce, sugar, salt, cooking wine, and chili bean paste (if using).
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and stir well.
Add the fried eggplant back into the pan and mix to coat evenly with the sauce.
Finally, add the starch water and stir-fry until everything is well combined and cooked through.
Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Enjoy your flavorful Chinese Eggplant Stir Fry! 🍆✨
