Steps:
- Apply some oil on eggplant and on a medium open flame roast till its skin is burnt and eggplant is soft. Make sure it gets roasted on every side. So keep changing sides. OR roast it in pre-heated oven at 350 F for about 30-35 minutes or until it is soft and roasted.
- Once roasted, remove from flame/oven and let it cool down a bit before you peel off the burnt skin and remove the stem of the eggplant. In a mixing bowl mash the eggplant using fork and let it cool down completely. In a food processor add peanuts and process twice until it breaks down into tiny pieces. Remove it in a bowl of mashed eggplant and in a same food processor bowl finely process green chilies, garlic and ginger. Add it to the eggplant mixture along with 3 cups of Greek yogurt. Season with salt and mustard. Add chopped cilantro and mix well.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate it until you are ready to serve. It tastes best when you allow the flavors to develop so if you have time let it sit in refrigerator for an hour or two. Once chilled give it a quick stir and garnish with some peanuts and chopped cilantro. Serve with whatever you like. It goes best with grilled pita, vegetables, steamed rice or anything. I can just eat a bowl full of it right away. It is that comfy! Recipe link: http://zaikazabardast.com/2012/04/30/eggplantdip/

Steps:
- Chop the eggplant into 1-inch cubes, salt, and set aside for 20 minutes. I like to do this in a colander to naturally drain. You can also lightly pat the pieces with a kitchen towel to remove any excess water (and salt).
- Finely chop the chilies. You can adjust the amount of heat by using less chili and/or removing the seeds from the chilies.
- Finely chop the spring onion and grate or mince the garlic and ginger (or use ginger paste and garlic paste).
- Prepare the stock by combining the stock cube with water and just lightly crush the peppercorns. I did this in a mini mortar and pestle, but you could also place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat with the crushed peppercorns. Once hot, remove the larger pepper pieces and add the chili, garlic, and ginger, stirring for a minute.
- Add the eggplant and stir-fry for a further two minutes.If you want more of a smoky flavor, you can first grill the eggplant until slightly crispy and smoky. Then add it to the pan in the last few minutes of cooking the sauce. Alternatively, lightly toss the eggplant in cornstarch before pan-frying in a bit of oil (without the sauce) for stovetop slightly smoky flavor.
- Add the stock, sugar, soy, and miso, and stir to combine. Then cook for between 10-15 minutes, or until softened with a reduced sauce.If you want the sauce to be thinner, add a little more water or stock to your preference.
- Give the Chinese garlic sauce a taste and adjust any ingredients (salt, sugar, chili, etc.), Finally, top with the green onions and some sesame seeds before serving. This Chinese eggplant stir-fry is best enjoyed over rice or noodles for a simple, healthy meal!
- Make ahead: Since this recipe can be stored for 4-5 days, it's great for making ahead. For an even quicker meal, you can pre-grill/cook the eggplant and prepare the sauce (reduces and thickened then store in a jar in the fridge) 2-3 days in advance. To prepare the meal, add the eggplant to a pan until heated, then add the sauce and mix until warm- add a little additional water if needed for the Chinese garlic sauce.Fridge: store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered for between 4-5 days.Reheat: reheat the garlic eggplant dish in the microwave or on the stovetop, optionally with a splash of water to thin the sauce once more.

- GRILL EGGPLANT: Heat grill to high. Pierce eggplant in several spots with a sharp knife. Place eggplant on grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. Eggplant is ready when very soft (pierced through with knife) and charred. [To ROAST instead, see NOTE 1]. Transfer to colander and slit eggplant open. Let drain and cool. Remove skin and seeds (if any).
- MAKE FLAVOR MIXTURE: While eggplant is grilling, heat oil in a small pan to medium heat. Add onions and saute 5-6 minutes until tender. Stir in garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Add soy, brown sugar, rice wine, chili flakes and salt. Bring to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- BLEND EGGPLANT DIP: Place cooked eggplant flesh in food processor. Add onion mixture. Process until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion stick blender. Taste and adjust seasonings to your taste. Add a few drops of sesame oil if using (I do). Serve cold, warm or at room temperature with pita chips, raw vegetables or crackers.

- Halve the eggplants lengthways and halve again. Divide the eggplant pieces up so you have roughly 4 cm by 2 cm batons. Place in a colander with a dish underneath and sprinkle liberally with salt. Leave to drain for up to 30 minutes and pat dry.
- In a wok or a tall saucepan, place enough vegetable oil to cover the pieces of eggplant. We usually deep fry the eggplant pieces in batches. Heat the oil to 180°C and carefully adda batch of eggplant batons. Deep-fry until golden brown, usually for three minutes. Remove, drain on kitchen towels and deep fry the remaining batches.
- In a wok, heat up some of the leftover oil and over medium heat add the chilli bean paste until it splits and red oil is separated in the pan.
- Add the ginger and garlic and stir fry until they just start to colour. Add the Sichuan peppercorns and stir for a minute.
