Meats Recipes -  Stir-fried Pork with Aubergine Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 3-4

  • 175 g/6 oz boneless lean pork, shredded

  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped

  • 1 cm/1/2 inch piece of fresh root ginger, finely chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon medium or dry sherry

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons corn flour

  • vegetable oil, for deep-frying

  • 250 g/8 oz aubergine, cut into diamond-shaped chunks

  • 1 tablespoon chilli sauce

  • 3-4 tablespoons Chicken Stock or water chopped

  • spring onions, to garnish

Method:

  1. Put the pork in a bowl with the spring onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sherry and corn flour. Mix well, then leave to marinate for about 20 minutes.

  2. Heat the oil in a wok or deep-fat fryer to 180-190°C (350-375°F) or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.

  3. Lower the heat, add the aubergine and deep-fry for about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

  4. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan. Add the pork and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the aubergine and chili sauce and cook for about 1 1/2 minutes, then moisten with the stock or water.

  5. Simmer until the liquid has almost evaporated. Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions.
