Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce
Ingredients
4-6 Chinese or Japanese eggplants (these are long and slender-HFSs or Chinese groceries will
have them)
1 t chopped fresh ginger
1 T chopped fresh garlic( I use 4-6 cloves, as I really like garlic)
1 T Hot bean paste (available from Chinese groceries-check label to make sure it has no
added oil-most don't)
2 T soysauce (adjust down for sodium restriction)
1 t sugar (or sucanat)
1 t salt (again, adjust for low sodium version)
1/2 cup soup stock or water
1 T chopped green onion
Directions
Cut eggplant into finger sized pieces-cut lengthwise, then into quarters etc. Saute with some
water in a non-stick pan/wok, until soft. When soft, remove from pan.
On low heat, cook garlic, ginger, and hot bean paste for a minute, then add salt, sugar,
soysauce and stock/water. Return eggplant to the pan and cook for about five minutes until
garlic is soft and a sauce forms. If sauce is too thin, thicken with 1t corn starch mixed with 2t
water.
Serve over white/brown rice.

Mu Shu Vegetables
Ingredients
1 package mu shu pancakes (check these for fat content first)
a few wood ear or cloud ear mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes and then cut
into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, cut into very thin wedges
1 small head green cabbage, finely shredded
1 small carrot, shredded
4 oz can mushrooms, drained (or equivalent fresh, sauteed in water)
3-4 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
Soy sauce or tamari to taste
Hoisin sauce
Directions
Thaw pancakes.
In a large wok or skillet, saute the garlic and onions for three minutes in a little water or
vegetable broth. Add the cabbage, carrot and mushrooms and saute until cabbage just wilts.
Add the green onions, soy sauce (about 1-2 tbsp is good) and about 1 tbsp of hosin sauce.
Heat through.
Place one pancake in the microwave for 10 seconds (helps to make them more pliable).
Remove and spread with a tbsp of hosin sauce, and then about 1/2 cup of the mu shu
mixture. Fold the bottom of the pancake up about 1/4 of the way, then fold the two sides in. I
sort of roll them, actually, so it is easier to eat.
You could also add some julienne strips of tofu or any other vegetables you like (i.e., bean
sprouts, celery, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, etc.).
This was even better the second day (don't put them in the pancakes until right before you
want to eat them, however).

Peking Raviolis with Eggplant
Ingredients
1 package egg roll wrappers or ravioli wrappers.
1.5 lbs eggplant
3 cloves garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari sauce
1/2 c scallions chopped coarsely
1/2 tsp mustard
1 tsp paprika ( the hotter the better)
1 tsp ginger
Directions
Slice eggplant in half lengthwise and cut off stems. Place face down on a cookie sheet. Use
non-stick spray if the sheet is not already non stick.
Bake for about 1 hour. The eggplant should give to the touch. Take the eggplant out of the
oven and allow to cool. While they are cooling mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl to
make a marinade.
When the eggplant is cool, they should be a bit shriveled. With a spoon, scoop Out the
insides into the marinade. Let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Pour the eggplant and marinade into a food processor to puree for about 30 seconds. The
result should look totally inedible. :-)
Fill a large stock pan with about 1.5 inches of water and set on the stove to boil.
If you are using wonton wrappers or ravioli wrappers you can skip this step. Take out two egg
roll wrappers and cut in even quarters.
Place out about 8 wrapper pieces on a flat clean surface like a cutting board. Spoon about 1/2
teaspoon of the eggplant puree into the middle of each wrapper. Dip your fingers into a bowl
of water and run along two opposite edges of a wrapper or along all four edges. Take one
corner and fold it over to the opposite corner forming a triangle. Carefully press the wet
edges together to form a seal. Place the triangular ravioli onto a rack to dry a bit and repeat
the process with the other seven wrappers.
If you put too much filling in a wrapper, it will ooze out the edge. Just make sure you press
firmly on that edge to force the filling out all the way. You want the wrapper edges touching
each other so they will form a seal.

If you have a ravioli press, as sold at Chinese supply stores, follow the directions given with
the press.
After filling eight raviolis, turn them over on the drying rack and repeat the process with eight
more.
At this point, your water should be at a rolling boil and you can carefully add the raviolis. First
stir the water in a circular motion with a slotted spoon. Place one ravioli on the spoon and
carefully lower it into the water. Continue stirring until the ravioli starts to float. Add another
ravioli. Don't add so many raviolis that they crowd each other in the pan. They should not
touch each other while cooking or they might cook together.
The raviolis are cooked when they float easily and are somewhat transparent. The eggplant
mixture will spread in the wrapper a bit but should not seep out if they were sealed well.
As they reach the floating stage, carefully lift the raviolis out of the water with the slotted
spoon and move them back to the drying rack.
When the raviolis are dry again use a toothpick to connect the two opposite corners and
place on a tray of lettuce or ornamental cabbage to serve.

wedges evenly. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until the slices are done to your
