Smoky Eggplant-Country Style

Ingredients

1 large

1/2 lb

2 cloves

1 tbsp

4 large

Eggplant
Ground lean pork
Scallion (1 chopped, 1 sliced)
Garlic (minced)
Fish sauce
Oyster sauce
Soy sauce
Cooked shrimp (peeled and chopped)
Serrano (or jalapeño) chiles (stems and seeds removed and coarsely chopped)

Salt (adjust to taste)

Pepper (adjust to taste)

Method

Pierce the eggplant several times with a fork, to prevent it from exploding
Hold the stem with tongs or a long fork, stand it up over hot coals (or a gas flame) until the skin on the bottom is thoroughly charred
Lay it down and continue cooking in this manner, turning when necessary, to char the entire eggplant on the outside and cook it through on the inside
Wash the black crust off under cool running water
Tear the eggplant apart into manageable pieces and place them on a warm platter and set aside
Combine the pork, chopped scallion, and the garlic in a large pan or a wok and quickly brown the pork
Stir in the fish, oyster, and soy sauces, and bring the mixture to a quick boil
Add the shrimp and heat through; add salt and pepper to taste
Pour this mixture over the eggplant
Garnish with the sliced scallions and the chopped chiles
