Here is a eggplant dish that is 1 points per serving, but if you eliminate the

oil and fry it in cooking spray then it is a ZERO POINT MEAL.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound eggplants

2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon oil

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 tablespoon minced ginger

2 tablespoons chopped scallions -- finely chopped

2 tablespoons soy sauce -- dark

1 teaspoon chili sauce -- (1 to 2)

or 1 dried red chile

1 tablespoon black bean sauce

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 1/3 cups water

2 teaspoons chopped scallions -- optional

 

This is a garlicky, spicy eggplant dish. Roll-cut the chinese eggplants or, if

using the regular large variety, trim and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle

the cubes with salt and leave in a sieve to drain for 20 minutes, then rinse

under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Heat a wok or

large skillet to a moderate heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for a few

seconds, then add the eggplant, garlic, ginger and scallions and stir-fry for 1

minute, until they are thoroughly mixed together. Now add the rest of the

ingredients except for the scallions. Turn the heat down and cook, uncovered,

for 10 to 15 minutes, until the eggplant is tender, stirring occasionally.

Return the heat to high and continue to stir until the liquid has been reduced

and has thickened slightly. Turn the mixture onto a serving dish and garnish

with the chopped scallion tops.

 

JENN'S LOWER FAT NOTE: If you eliminate the oil this is a ZERO POINT MEAL.
