Chinese Eggplant with Pork Slices
Chinese eggplant with pork slices (猪肉片爆炒茄子) is one of my favorite dishes. This cuisine only required two main ingredients which included Chinese eggplant (qie zi), pork slices, garlic, scallion, and chilies. The dish can be prepared either in a pan or wok and it only takes 15 minutes to complete. It is great to serve with rice.
