  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet. Add eggplant slices, ginger, garlic, mushrooms and bean sprouts. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until eggplant begins to soften, 4-6 minutes.

Helpful hints

  • If Chinese eggplant is unavailable, substitute regular eggplant. Cut into 1-inch cubes (unpeeled).
  • Hoisin sauce is a soybean paste product available in the ethnic food section of most grocery stores. One tablespoon hoisin sauce contains 250 mg sodium (63 mg per serving). Look for Sun Luck brand, available from Sun Luck of Seattle, Washington. A very small amount adds lots of flavor!

We used a regular eggplant, very easy to prepare & cook. It tasted so good you wouldn't know it was healthy for you.
