the eggplant was nice and soft and all the components really went well together. the sauce was nice, and you can adjust it depending on your taste. i didn't have plum sauce so i used some blackbean sauce i found in the fridge, which worked really well. thank you!




So authentic tasting

This dish looked and tasted so good. I had all ingredients but for the black vinegar and Chinese eggplants. I substituted baby black eggplants. I used almost 8 oz. of ground pork, just fine too. I used the small red Chinese dried chiles (tien tsin), and it gave the dish just a mild statement of heat. I might add extra chiles next time to kick it up a notch.

We all enjoyed this recipe. Living close to San Francisco, we're quite spoiled with excellent Chinese food and this recipe makes the grade.




Excellent

I had to try this recipe even though I was missing a lot of the ingredients because it just looked so good. I didn't have black vinegar, pork, plum sauce, and Chinese eggplant. I replaced Chinese eggplant with regular eggplant, black vinegar with rice vinegar, pork with chicken breast, and plum sauce with sweet and sour sauce. Despite the substituted ingredients, this dish came out very good. I served it with rice. I will try with the right ingredients without the meat next time.
