Grilling: Chinese Eggplant with Garlic and Ginger Sauce

To get the right texture of the eggplant you have to fry it first.

Eggplant is really dry and soaks up a ton of oil. Brushing it with oil for the grill won't do. To get the creamy texture rather than mushy, you should fry it first. Not to a crisp, but just enough for the flesh to soften. It also helps bind the other ingredients and flavors to the eggplant, making it tastier.
