Asian Stuffed Eggplant With Hawaiian-Style Pork (Or Turkey) Hash

"This is a dish that combines two things that I really like... eggplant and pork hash. Pork Hash in Hawaii brings back memories of the hunabutta days (childhood) when the man in the manapua (steamed Chinese bun) man would come around and sell his wares, kind of like the ice-cream man in the states. But instead of getting ice-cream, one could get pork hash, half moon, manapua, fried noodles, candies, almond cookies and other stuff. Pork Hash is kind of like a meatball wrapped in a won ton wrapper. It is usually served with chinese mustard mixed with soy sauce. Coleman's dry mustard mixed with soy sauce is a close approximation, and is the recommended accompaniment to this dish. You could also use a chinese black bean sauce or a sweet and thick teriyaki sauce. Good eating!"

directions

  • Combine pork or turkey, eggs, green onions water chestnuts garlic, ginger powder, pepper, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar and soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix well (I like to use my hands).
  • Cut a wedge out of the eggplant. Stuff the pork mixture into the newly created pocket. (I always overstuff).
  • If desired, put the wedge back on top of the eggplant.
  • ***NOTE***There will be alot of stuffing left over. This can be made into "pork hash" burgers or made into pork hash. To make pork hash, place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture on to the middle of a wrapper. Wrap up the sides, leaving the top open and unsealed.
  • Put stuffed eggplant and pork hash into a steamer, and steam for about 30 minutes.
  • Serve with soy sauce mixed with dry powdered mustard, or sweet and thick teriyaki sauce or chinese black bean sauce.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Aloha! <br>My name is Steve, and I am from Hawaii. I grew up in the kitchen. I am 29 years old. I have traveled throughout Asia, Europe and the United States, so I do have a different pallet than most. I like good, honest grub (yes, the restaurant in Tokyo, and just good food too). <br> <br>So, just a personal pet peeve right now... I get so angry when I read reviews like this... <br> <br>This turned out well but it's not particularly creamy, I'd say thick but not creamy. I substituted 1/2 cup of the milk with soy milk and I can't taste the difference. I also reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup and it is the perfect amount of sweetness. I added 1/4 c of raisins or more, because it's just not the same without them. I added some cinnamon too, and used half the amount of nutmeg. I think the reviewers who doubled the custard part had the right idea, but with all the alterations, I think I'll try a different pudding recipe next time. Thanks for sharing, though. (She gave the recipe 3 stars) <br> <br>Now is it just me or did she basically change the recipe sooooooo much that it became something new? If I were to make all the changes that this person did, I wouldn't have rated, just leave a private message.... But come on! If you review a recipe, review the recipe posted, not make major changes and then review! <br> <br>Other than that, I am working on a cookbook of my favorite recipes for my family. I'm gonna give it out for Christmas this year! I'm really excited about that! woot! <br> <br>I am famous for a few things... Red Velvet Cupcakes, Cheesecake Tarts, Furikake Chex Mix and cookies, cookies, cookies! <br> <br><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg> <br> <br><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg> <br> <br>What does the ranking system mean to me? <br> <br>5 stars - I will definitely make this again. Probably sooner than later. It might have required minor tweaking, but was a solid recipe. <br> <br>4 stars - I will more than likely make this again. It might have required some tweaks, but overall was a great recipe. <br> <br>3 stars - I might make this again. It was just ok. <br> <br>2 stars - I will probably never make this again. I really didn't like it, and will make it again only if I had a gun pointed at my head. <br> <br>1 star - Sorry. I will never make this again. Even if there was a gun to my head, I would not make it again. I had to throw it away / spit it out / my dog wouldn't go near it, etc.
