Varoma. Chinese Chicken & Eggplant.
Mar 16th, 2012 by Dani
I had a spectacularly long day at uni today, followed by picking up the kids from the various people I had begged favours from. So by the time we got home, it was much later than it should have been. I had dinner on the table precisely 20 minutes after I walked in the door. That’s my kind of mid week meal.
Chinese Chicken and Eggplant

4 chicken thighs
1 eggplant
1 clove garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon rice bran oil
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon chilli sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
optional – sliced fresh chillies to serve
