This comes in at the approachable end of Szechuan cooking - it has a bit of fire from chilli bean paste but it's pretty easy-going. We roast diced eggplant till soft and sweet then stir-fry chilli, garlic and ginger with pork mince which we flavour up with chilli bean and oyster sauces, kecap manis, for sweetness and depth and rice vinegar for tang. We then fold through the eggplant and finish with chopped spring onions and coriander.
