      outstanding recipe! Intense flavours, meltingly soft eggplant, crunchy water chestnuts and green onions. ALL eggplant lovers out there HAVE to try this.

      The sauce is wonderful! Many thanks for the great recipe! I make a fat-free version by grilling the eggplant and eliminating the oil and sesame oil. I also add a handful of sliced onions to the sauce while it's cooking and fold in a big handful of fresh basil a minute before serving.

      Fantastic eggplant recipe! All the other reviews say it all. I roasted the eggplant in the oven, sprayed with a bit of oil, because I don't have a non stick pan and was afraid the eggplant would soak up too much oil frying in a regular pan. Also, I didn't have the hot bean paste and use crushed red pepper flakes instead. This is SO good, I can't wait to have it agsin!

      Wow that's good! I made it twice, once w/o the water chestnuts and it's great that way too. I'm thinking it might be nice with fresh beansprouts on top, too. Thanks for a yummy recipe!

      Great recipe! We really enjoyed this one, and it was very straightforward to make. It will be made again. We threw in some steamed broccoli instead of the water chestnuts, and it worked okay. I was not sure how hot to saute the eggplant in Step 2, I'm guessing Medium.

      I'm not giving this a rating because I changed it in a way that affected the quality. I did think this was a fabulous recipe and will make it again - but will stick to the original more. I didn't have hot bean paste, so I substituted with garlic black bean sauce and a little garlic chili sauce. This was very tasty, but too salty. I think the true hot bean paste wouldn't cause these problems.

      Loved this recipe. Wonderful flavor with a nice crunch from the water chestnuts. I did halve the recipe with good success. Also I omitted the peanut oil to cut the fat, using just nonstick spray on my pan and didn't have a problem at all. To compensate I covered the pan once I added the sauce ingredients and was left with the perfect texture for both the eggplant and the sauce. Served over jasmine rice for a delicious meatless meal. Thank you Rita for sharing the recipe.

      Every eggplant lover should try this dish. I only had black bean paste so I added a TB of sambal olek chili paste. Four alarm fire in your mouth! But the steamed rice tempers the heat and it works out very well in the end. Another great recipe RitaL! I never tire of your food.

      Thanks for a AMAZING recipe! Didn't have hot bean paste at home, so i used black bean paste + Chilli sauce+ sugar. It turned out great! The water chestnut, i agree, gives it a wonderful additional crunch.

      Very good. I used regular eggplant since I have soooo many in my garden. About 2 1/2 to 3 regular eggplants seem to substitute nicely. Great! Tastes as good as a restaurant! Thanks.

      Super recipe! Gave it an Indian twist, using Indian garlic/hot pepper paste instead & basmati rice. Nicely chewy/tender. I don't use animal products & would especially cook this for those who do & are afraid they might "miss" the meat -- it's reminiscent of Chinese beef dishes, such as beef & broccoli. Yummmm!

      I must say this is one of the best asian style recipes for eggplant that I have had, and it is so quick to do to get such good flavour. I didn't alter this at all and can't see how it can be improved.

      Yum! I love the flavors in this dish! I didn't have water chestnuts so I used celery to give it the crunch. I will use water chestnuts next time and there will be a next time! Thanks so much Rita, keep those recipes coming!!!

      First off, I have to say that the sauce is fantastic. A perfect combination. However, I did have some trouble with my eggplant--the skins were just so darn tough! I kind of wish I had used european eggplant... That said, I think that I'll make this again with some other veggie or meat to replace the eggplant.

      Very good. My entire family liked it, including my 2-year-old. I did not have the hot bean paste this time but decided it was worth it anyway. It did seem to be missing a little something, but I can't fault the recipe, just my omission. I'm sure the fermented taste and spice will do the trick next time. I would also like to try this with some thinly sliced chicken, doubling the ingredients for the sauce. Thanks for sharing this. Egglplant Garlic Sauce is one of my favorite dishes and I'm glad to be able to make it myself now! This is the flavor and texture combination that I crave.

      This was wonderful as everyone has stated. I used 1 large eggplant and it was perfect. This was fast easy and delish. Thank you

      Just as described, this is bursting with flavour. I used one large eggplant and it worked fine. I only used 1/2 tsp bean paste which was enough for the kids. I tossed in Vietnamese Meat Balls (Vietnamese Meatballs) which worked well.
