Superior soy

Sea salt

White pepper to taste

Shallots,  white part only,  finely chopped

Shallot oil

Oyster Sauce

Cut 2 slices approx 3cm thick out of the centre of each eggplant, then cut each slice in half three quarters of the way through, leaving them hinged on one side.

step 1

To make prawn filling, peel & coarsely chop prawns. Place into a food processor and blend to a coarse paste with the chopped ginger, 2 tablespoons shao hsing and 1 tablespoon superior soy, sea salt & white pepper to taste. Whip egg whites to soft peaks and fold through the prawn mixture with chopped spring onion whites.

step 2

Fill each eggplant sandwich with the prawn mixture, coat with potato starch-shallow fry in shallot oil until golden on each side. Transfer to a clean frying pan with a lid or to a small shallow bowl that will fit inside your steamer. Pour over chicken stock, mushroom soy, remaining shao hsing & remaining superior soy. Steam for approx 10 mins or until tender, turn halfway through cooking.

step 3

Place on a serving plate-finish the sauce with oyster sauce to taste and pour over eggplant. Garnish with finely sliced spring onion & coriander leaves.

step 4

To make shallot oil, gently heat 200ml vegetable oil in a small saucepan with the green parts of 4 shallots (green onions). Remove from heat, allow to infuse for up to four hours, before straining into a sterilised bottle, and using as required.
