Eggs Rice Side Dish

Eggplant Fried Rice

Eggplant fried rice is fast, easy, and delicious. To me, there is nothing more boring than plain fried rice. That’s why this recipeis so unique. The eggplant, which I’m a fan of, combined with the spices, give this dish such an incredibly unique taste. Believe me, this will be a real hit. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

The tips to cooking this recipe are as follows: First, the chili flakes are optional, but I like that little bit of heat. You can use whatever type of rice you like. You can also use as little, or as much, of the spices as you like. I always make up the rice the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight. This makes things a lot easier, and the texture of the rice is a little better. You don’t want to overcook the eggplant as it will be too mushy and soggy. It should be just to the point where a fork or knife can penetrate it without too much effort.
