Beef and Eggplant Stir Fry 茄子炒牛肉

I was so excited when I found out my mother received some garden fresh Chinese eggplants. They are sweet and delicious. Beef and Eggplant Stir Fry , 茄子炒牛肉, is one of those warm and healthy dishes I love to make when the vegetables are fresh.

In Chinese cuisine, eggplants are known as qiézi (茄子). They are often deep fried and made into dishes such as yúxiāng-qiézi ("fish fragrance eggplant") or di sān xiān ("three earthen treasures"). Elsewhere in China, such as in Yunnan cuisine (in particular the cuisine of the Dai people) they are barbecued or roasted, then split and either eaten directly with garlic, chilli, oil and coriander, or the flesh is removed and pounded to a mash (typically with a wooden pestle and mortar) before being eaten with rice or other dishes.

Happy Cooking,
Uncle Bill
