Ingredients - Fried Rice
  • 200g long grain rice
  • 250g seafood mix
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1 large clove garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Hoi Sin sauce
Method
  1. Steam the rice
  2. Stir-fry the seafood in a large pan with onion and garlic in sesame oil until just cooked.
  3. Add the steamed rice, and stir through, adding a little more sesame oil and Hoi Sin sauce

Ingredients - Eggplant
  • 1 large eggplant or 4 Asian eggplants - diced in 2cm cubes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 mild chilli sliced in large pieces
Method
  1. Stir-fry the garlic and chilli for 30 seconds
  2. Remove the chilli and set aside
  3. Add the eggplant and gently stir-fry. When the eggplant has soaked up all of the oil, add 1 tbsp of the water. 
  4. Keep adding water, 1 tbsp at a time, until the eggplant is soft and you have used around half of the water.
  5. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar then add the remaining water. 
  6. Cover with a lid and cook for 1 minute. Remove the lid; the liquid should be absorbed. Return the chilli to the wok, toss for 30 seconds and serve.
