Ingredients

  • 1 large potato, peeled and chopped
  • 1 aubergine, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, deseeded and cut into large rough squares
  • 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into large rough squares
  • 5cm piece of ginger, peeled and minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 3 spring onions, whites cut into 2-inch pieces, and greens sliced finely
  • 100ml + 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 200ml water
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • A small handful of coriander, roughly chopped
  • Steamed rice
  • 1 Tbsp Lee KumKee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil to serve (optional)

Sauce Mix:

Method

Step 1:  Heat 100ml cooking oil in a wok until sizzling but not smoking. Add the potato pieces and fry on a medium high heat until brown on each side (about 4 minutes). Place on a plate with a piece of kitchen towel.
Step 2:  Repeat with the aubergine, frying until brown (about 4 minutes) and place on a plate with a piece of kitchen towel. At this point, the aubergine may have soaked up all the oil, in which case add 1 Tbspback into the wok.
Step 3:  Add the ginger, garlic and spring onion whites and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the peppers.
Step 4:  Add the Shaoxing rice wine and keep stir-frying for a minute, then add the potatoes and Lee KumKee Premium Oyster Sauce, Lee KumKee Premium Light and Dark Soy Sauces, sugar and 200ml water. Over a medium heat, cook for 5 minutes with the lid on.
Step 5:  Add the aubergine and stir again, cook for a further 5 minutes on a lower heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally. If it is looking dry, add 25ml of water each time. The sauce should be glossy and thick, not watery.
Step 6: When the potatoes are tender, remove from the heat and garnish with the spring onion greens and coriander.

To Serve:

Lee KumKee Chiu Chow Chilli Oil (optional) and steamed rice.
