5
tablespoons cooking oil
1 tablespoon

Cooking
Instructions:
On a heated
frying pan, brown the sliced eggplants.
Do not put oil. Remove eggplants
from the pan. Put oil in the pan and
throw in the string beans. Stir fry
until slightly tender. Remove the string
beans while draining the oil back into the pan.
Put the ground pork or beef and fry until brown and crispy. Put the meat on one side of the frying pan to
make room for the spices. Toss in the
garlic and sauté until medium brown. Add
the onions and stir until slightly tender.
Add fish sauce and mix in the meat.
Stir for a few minutes. Add the
eggplant, string beans, red bell pepper, and ground black pepper. Stir in the oyster sauce. Mix well for not more than three minutes.
This recipe
will serve up to three people.
Additional Notes: Do not fry the eggplants in oil. Eggplants absorb oil and you may end up adding more oil just to fry the eggplants properly. Once the eggplants are cooked, the oil is released and you will end up with a very oily dish. Do take note that you may add more oyster sauce than what was indicated here. However, too much oyster sauce may make your dish very salty.
