InstructionsCut off the tops of the eggplants. Split each one into halves vertically then cut into half-inch slices.Pull off the stems of the shiitake and discard as they are much too tough and woody. Quarter the caps.Heat the cooking oil in a wok or frying pan. When it starts to smoke, add the eggplants and fry for just 30 seconds. They will continue to soften in the residual heat do don’t wait for them to turn soft. When they start to brown, scoop them out (a spider is useful) and drain on a stack of paper towels. By cooking the eggplants separately, you’ll avoid the risk of overcooking them which is easy to do when they’re cooked together with other ingredients that require different lengths of cooking time.Pour off the oil in the wok until only about a tablespoonful remains.Reheat the oil.
