Today I am going to share the recipe of a eggplant with ground pork stir fry. I am a big fan of this dish, it’s easy to make and full of flavor.
For ingredients, I used Chinese eggplant, ground pork (feel free to use ground beef or other types of meat you like), chili pepper, garlic, ginger and green onion.
Chinese eggplant usually comes in a long shape and has a lighter taste and thinner skin compared to the eggplants sold at the non-Asian grocery store. If you can’t find Chinese eggplant, feel free to use other types of eggplants to make this dish. But make sure to adjust the cooking time a little bit.
After frying the eggplants until they are cooked through and soft, I simply stir-fried the eggplants together with the rest of the ingredients as well as the seasonings for a couple of more minutes and the dish is done and ready to be served.
My favorite way to enjoy this dish is to eat with a bowl of hot white rice. If you are looking for a easy eggplant recipe, this would not let you down.
Below is how I made this dish step-by-step. The total time needed is about 30 minutes!
I hope you enjoy making this tasty eggplant stir fry at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!

So delicious, thanks from Canada, Ontario
Thanks for liking it 🙂
Yum.. added carrots, onion, and green peppers.
My neighbor just brought this over as a surprise and it touched my soul!! I cant wait to try this recipe!!!
The recipe says it feeds 30 people obviously it’s a typo – I’m guessing 4 people
Thanks Cherie, corrected!
The ratios seem off – serves 30 with .2oz of pork? I made it with a pound of Chinese eggplant and 1/2 lb of pork. It was very tasty but seemed low on sauce. Next time I’ll add more soy and oyster sauce. When do you add the pepper?
Serving size corrected, sorry about that!
Serves 30? With 2/10 of a pound of ground pork? Seems like a stretch.
That was my bad, it has been corrected, thank you for your support!
This was delicious, thank you! I served it with some wide rice noodles…perfect!
I meant to leave five star review!
