  • 3 clove garlic, minced

  • 1/2 pound ground pork

  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and then stir in the eggplant. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the eggplant is seared. Remove eggplant from the pan and set aside.
