Both of my adult kids thought this was the best thing ever. Neither remember this one so I must have made it while they were away. For future reference, I'll have to add more peppers and onions to the mix. I'm also writing this as I'm eating a leftover one for breakfast. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-10962703898189101102015-11-04T09:21:41.346-05:002015-11-04T09:21:41.346-05:00OMG!

I slathered peanut butter all over that beyotch, and it seemed to help, but it was a tad hard to continue with dinner prep. I love the look of this recipe, something about Chinese flavors paired with eggplant sound so appealing!Oatmeal with a Forkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174095835373839067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-7932015703294998922015-10-21T18:11:12.833-04:002015-10-21T18:11:12.833-04:00I've never worked with serrano peppers, and ha...I've never worked with serrano peppers, and having read this story, I'm quite sure I'll never do.

It only took touching my eye once after cutting up a habanero though for that to sink in, nothing seemed to work and my eye just wept for hours before the burning finally calmed down (now I wear gloves with super hot peppers). It looks like all the suffering was worth it though because the final results look great!GI 365 | Karihttp://gi365.conoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-58553596667910996442015-10-19T23:09:48.488-04:002015-10-19T23:09:48.488-04:00My eyes just started watering when I read that... ...My eyes just started watering when I read that... ouuchhh!

I have discovered it now as an adult and have had fun experimenting with it in different recipes- it can take on so many different flavors!Allthingslovelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683199268531855618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-12256589327109770112015-10-19T09:12:10.463-04:002015-10-19T09:12:10.463-04:00I've done that once.

It also doubles as a great facial. <br /><br />So I just finished making this great recipe of yours. And yes - it is that good! As always I was skeptical - I have made Chinese eggplant with at least a dozen different recipes and I've been disappointed every. single. time. <br /><br />This recipe is outstandingly delicious. I didn't have my act together to make Orange Chicken (next on the list) but I'm having it with brown rice and peas. I also didn't have tomato sauce so I subbed tomato paste and 2 Tblsp of ketchup. Since I'm on sugar free diet I used Xylitol instead of Palm sugar. <br /><br />Delicious delicious delicious!! <br />Vanitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852827703279494520.post-87463869891672567172015-10-17T21:31:49.552-04:002015-10-17T21:31:49.552-04:00You know what they say, "no pain, no gain&quo...You know what they say, "no pain, no gain" lol!
