Prep

Cut the eggplant into rolling chunks (approx. 1cm thick); wash the green peas, then boil them in salted boiling water until cooked.

Sauté

Heat a wok, add 5 tbsp of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, first stir-fry the minced scallion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Add the eggplant and stir-fry until it turns brownish-yellow, then pour in the Shaoxing wine. Push the eggplant to the sides of the wok to create space, add the sweet bean sauce, and stir-fry until aromatic. Next add the green peas, sugar, salt, and MSG, stir-fry evenly until the sauce coats the eggplant completely.
