Eggplant is one of the most popular ingredients in Chinese cooking and there are so many ways to cook it. For example, the crowd pleaser eggplant with garlic sauce<\/a>, the addictive yu xiang eggplant (Sichuan style eggplant)<\/a>, the easy and hearty mapo eggplant<\/a>, the super fun fried stuffed eggplant<\/a>, or the refreshing eggplant salad<\/a>. And they all have different textures and flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I want to share a very popular homestyle eggplant dish that you rarely see in the restaurant – stir fried eggplant with tomato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eggplant is pan fried until lightly charred and tender, and it is cooked with tomato in a savory, slightly tangy and sweet brown sauce. It is super easy to put together and bold in flavor. No matter if you’re serving it as a side or a main dish over steamed rice, this one is great for your weekday dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of eggplant to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the best result, you should use Chinese eggplant or Japanese eggplant. These long and skinny eggplants contain less moisture than American and other Western eggplant. They char up beautifully in a stir fry and do not turn mushy easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily find Chinese eggplant in Chinese and Japanese grocery stores, and at large Asian markets. You can also find it at many large grocery stores like Whole Foods, or at local vegetable markets when in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you cannot find Chinese eggplant, you can also use American or Italian eggplant instead. The dish will have a slightly different texture but be delicious nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
