Steps:
- The small purple Asian eggplant is best but the western dark skinned variety (large or baby) can be used be used.
- If using the western eggplant you may want to peel the skin since it has a tendency to be quite tough.
- These are called mu-er in Chinese.
- This is the fungus used in mu shu pork.
- Variously known in English as wood ears, tree ears or cloud ears, it is strictly a texture food and has no flavor at all.
- They must be soaked for 15 minutes in boiling water before use.
- The stem is very tough and must be removed.
- Mu-er increase up to four times in size when soaked so a little goes a long way.
- Chinese red vinegar is best but unseasoned rice vinegar, or plain or cider vinegar work fine.
- Have a bowl handy lined with a sieve.
- Heat oil in wok to very hot.
- Carefully stir in eggplant and cook, stirring constantly, until half done.
- Pour contents into the sieve-lined bowl to drain.
- (You may want to press down on it slightly since eggplant soaks up a lot of oil).
- The oil can be strained and reserved for other uses.
- Reheat the wok with a little more oil and stir fry the garlic, ginger and scallions for about 30 seconds- until they give off a strong aroma.
- Add the mu-er, water chestnuts and bamboo; stir fry about a minute.
- Stir in the sauce ingredients.

MINTY SWEET AND SOUR EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
An absolutely delightful canape or side dish with lamb or grilled fish from Madhur Jaffrey. It's easiest done with long, skinny Japanese eggplant, but it works equally as well with standard Italian eggplant, cut into half-circles. You can slice and broil the eggplant in advance and do the final touches just before you're ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and position the rack on the top level.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with oil.
- If using Japanese eggplants, slice on the diagonal 1/3 inch thick.
- If using Italian eggplants, slice in half lengthwise, and then cut slices 1/3 inch thick.
- Lay as many as will fit on the baking sheet and brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Broil until lightly browned.
- Turn and repeat.
- If you have more slices than will fit on one baking sheet, repeat the process until all slices have been browned.
- Turn off broiler and pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Toast the cumin seeds in a small saute pan until they darken and give off an aroma.
- Cool the seeds and place in a bowl with the rest of the seasoning ingredients.
- Lay the eggplant slices in a baking dish in slightly over-lapping rows or concentric circles. Dribble or brush over each row the seasoning mixture until all slices are used.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. (Result is a lovely casserole/gratin of eggplant to serve as a side.
- In the alternative, place slices on baking sheet, brush with seasoning mixture and bake till mixture is absorbed. (Result is a canape which can be served on its own).
- Beware--the aroma is so good you will be tempted to pick one up and eat it to the despair of your fingertips and tongue.
- As a canape or a side, the eggplant can be served hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a colander. Toss with 2 tablespoons sea salt. Let drain 1 hour.
- While eggplant drains, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté three fourths of garlic, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juice, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart saucepan, then cook celery until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Gently squeeze eggplant to remove excess moisture and pat dry. Heat 1/4 inch oil (about 2 cups) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer, then fry eggplant in 4 batches, stirring and turning constantly with a slotted spoon, until browned and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Transfer to paper towels.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet, then reduce heat to moderate and cook onion, bell pepper, and remaining garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, eggplant, celery, olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and remaining teaspoon sea salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
- Just before serving, stir in parsley and basil. Serve cold or at room temperature.
SWEET AND SOUR EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC CHIPS
This vibrant eggplant dish relies heavily on simple pantry staples, but gets its complex flavor from the clever use of garlic: First, you make garlic chips, then you fry eggplant in the remaining garlic-infused oil. Since garlic chips can burn easily, the key here is to combine the garlic and oil in an unheated pan for even cooking. As the oil heats up, the garlic will sizzle rapidly as the moisture cooks off. When it slows down, the garlic slices should be crisp. Be sure to remove the chips just as they begin to turn golden, as they will continue to cook after being removed from the oil. The rest is easy: Sauté the eggplant, create a quick soy sauce glaze, sprinkle with herbs and garlic chips, and serve.

Steps:
- Set a small sieve over a heatproof bowl. Combine garlic and oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium-low. Cook garlic until light golden brown and crisp and the bubbles have subsided, 3 to 4 minutes, then quickly strain the garlic chips into the sieve set over the bowl. Transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate, season with kosher salt and set aside. Transfer the garlic oil back to the skillet.
- Heat the garlic oil over medium-high. Add the eggplant in batches, adding more as they shrink in size and space permits, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cut sides of eggplant are golden-brown and skins are slightly wrinkled, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and red-pepper flakes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, tossing the eggplant to coat, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with fresh herbs and garlic chips.
