Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large eggplants, sliced into fingers about 2 centimeters (3/4 inch) thick
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 Thai red chiles, deseeded and finely chopped
100 milliliters (1/2 cup) reduced salt soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
300 grams (10 ounces) jasmine rice
Juice of 1 lime
Handful of small young mint leaves
2 tablespoon roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Put the eggplants into a dish. Use a fork to blend the garlic, chiles, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and half the oil together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this over the eggplant fingers to coat them and leave to marinate (if you have the time) for at least 10 minutes.
  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Remove the eggplant fingers from the marinade and slowly fry for 10 minutes over a medium heat until very tender and browned. Add the rest of marinade to the pan and cook until sticky. Add the lime juice to taste.
  • Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the sticky eggplant. Scatter with the mint leaves and peanuts and serve

THAI BASIL EGGPLANT



Thai Basil Eggplant image

Basil is my favorite herb and maybe a reason I love Thai food so much. The soups, curries, and stir-fries taste amazingly different with just few handfuls of sweet basil. This recipe is super easy and cooks in very little time. Serve with freshly cooked jasmine or basmati rice.
