We liked this recipe. It wasn't as spicy as I was expecting and I added some chili flakes to get it to the spice level I wanted. One of my old housemate used to make something like this so maybe that is why expected it to be hotter as that when she cooked you could feel the chilis before you ate them. :) It took a while to blanch the eggplant, maybe I will saute them next time. -
My family LOVED this dish, and said it was as good as the restaurant! My husband even said that he would like to have it again soon. I think I'll make a few small changes next time, though: I tried blanching the eggplant, but cooked it a little too long (five minutes), so next time I think I will try sauteing it instead. I think I will also add some firm tofu as well, and possibly turn up the heat just a touch with a few drops of hot chili oil. It was so good, though, and everyone around the table was smiling tonight! We served it with steamed rice and recipe #28377, Cheat n' Eat Vietnamese Chicken Soup, which my family also wants to have again -- soon! Thanks, Happy Housewife, for a really delicious recipe! -
I love this dish! It's one of my favorite chinese dishes. I tried to cook it using other recipes, but wasn't satisfied. This recipe is just perfect! Very nice proportion of everything! It reminded me of authentic chinese food I ate in China and Hong Kong (I miss it now!). Thank you so much for sharing. It's definitely a keeper in my Cookbook!

I'm a 28 years old wife who lives in the Bay Area with my hubby. I do not work. In my spare time I like to sample recipes from recipezaar. I also enjoy baking some sweets once in a while but normally my hubby and I can't finish everything I bake. We hope to have children soon so that there will be people around the house to eat everything I cook. I like to cook Chinese or Asian food as I am Chinese and I find it's easier for me to find the needed ingredients from home without buying a lot of groceries to prepare for one dish.
My passion is eating. Sounds odd? hehehe....my friends also share the same passion. My friend was criticized for considering eating as her passsion. She was told that eating is not considered a passion, it's considered a necessity and it's something you just have to do. What do you think?
We eat out whenever we feel bored of our own cooking. That's why I gained weight over the past year. I go to the gym 3 times a week(sometimes not even twice a week).
