Chinese-style Eggplants!

This recipe is based on papadesuyo777's Hot-plate Eggplants! Since I don't have several ingredients from his recipe I omitted and added some stuff and it was very tasty! I also steamed the eggplants instead but papadesuyo777's method will let the eggplant retain its colour. If you want to try the eggplants with a more traditional and authentic taste, here is papadesuyo777's video!

If you want it to be vegetarian, you could use a vegetable alternative of oyster sauce, vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and mushrooms instead of pork!
