Ingredients
1 lb eggplant
2 cup peanut oil; for deep-frying
----BATTER----
1/4 cup all-purpose flour water
1/4 teaspoon salt
----SAUCE----
1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 tablespoon finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoon chili bean sauce
2/3 cup stock (chicken or vegetable)
2 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon chinese black vinegar or- cider vin; egar
3 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch; mixed with: water
Cooking Directions:
Cut the eggplant into thin 1-1/2-inch by 3-inch slices. Do not peel them.
For the batter mix the flour, water, and salt together in a small bowl, then strain through a fine sieve. Let rest for about 20 minutes.
For the sauce, heat a wok or large frying-pan until hot and add the 1 tablespoon of oil. Put in the scallions, ginger, and chili bean sauce and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Then add the stock, rice wine, vinegar, tomato paste, sugar, and soy sauce and continue to cook for 1 minute. Thicken the sauce with the blended cornstarch and cook another minute. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer or large wok until quite hot. Dip the slices of eggplant into the batter, let the excess batter drip off, then deep-fry. You may have to do this in several batches. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towel.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a serving platter, pour the sauce over and serve.
