Eggplants with garlic sauce

·        4 eggplants cut in half and sliced

·        3 tablespoons oil

·        3 tablespoons garlic powder

·        1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

·        1 teaspoon  corn flour

·        5 teaspoons sugar

·        1 cup water

·        3 – 4 tablespoons soy sauce

Heat the oil in a skillet. Add eggplants and cook for 4-5 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir in water, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed.

Mix sugar, corn flour, soy sauce in a bowl until sugar and corn flour have dissolved. Stir the sauce into the egg plant, making sure to evenly coat the eggplant. Cook until the sauce has thickened.

*You may add grated carrot and green pepper for color if you like. I enjoyed my eggplants with flat bread and a salad.
