    Incredible!
    Thank you for a delicious way to serve eggplant! I stir fried the eggplant using 2 teaspoons of olive oil and after it was tender I added the remaining ingredients to the pan and cooked for an additional 3 minutes. It was so yummy, that even my husband helped me to consume the whole thing! - 6/20/15

    I substituted finely chopped red onion for scallions and decreased ginger to 1/2 tsp. Even better refrigerated overnight and served cold. - 10/29/10
