Chinese Eggplant and Broccoli with Soy Chili Garlic Sauce

Watch how to make it here

Try this Chinese eggplant and broccoli with vegan ground sausage in a delicious soy chili garlic sauce.

A few notes:

  1. The vegan ground sausage used in this recipe was from Impossible Foods but any non-flavored vegan ground sausage will work.
  2. The chili garlic sauce used in this recipe was from Huy Fong Foods. I highly recommend this sauce. It can be found at any Asian grocery store or can be purchased online.
  3. Chinese eggplant is typically found at most Asian grocery stores. If it is not available at your nearest grocery store, Japanese eggplant can be used as a substitute.
  4. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
