How to Make Basil Eggplant Aubergine Pud Makua Yow

  1. Prepare the eggplant: Peel the eggplant if desired. Slice into irregular 1-inch thick pieces. Avoid perfectly round slices for easier flipping.
  2. Heat the pan: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sauté aromatics: Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, until fragrant and the garlic is lightly toasted.
  4. Cook the eggplant: Add the eggplant slices to the wok and stir to coat with oil.
  5. Simmer: Add 1 cup of water, cover the pan, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and most of the water has evaporated.
  6. Season: Stir in 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Adjust to your taste.
  7. Add basil: Stir in the fresh basil leaves. Cook for another minute, until wilted but still vibrant green.
  8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked basmati rice. Enjoy!
