1. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Wash the eggplants, cut the ends off and slice them into equal sized pieces. After slicing, separate the green and white portions of the scallions into roughly two piles.
3. Over very high heat, heat a tablespoon of oil in your wok. Add half of the eggplant and let it sear until brown on all sides. You can lower the heat if it looks like they're starting to burn. You want to cook the eggplant for about 5 minutes until they start to get soft and have a nice sear. Take this first batch of eggplant out of the pan, heat a second tablespoon of oil, and do the same with your second batch. Set all the cooked eggplant aside on a plate.
4. Set the heat to medium high and add the last tablespoon of oil to the wok, along with the ground pork. After the pork has browned, add the ginger and cook for a minute to let it crystalize with the pork. Stir in the whole red chili peppers and the minced garlic, and after a minute, turn the heat back up to high. Add the eggplant back in, along with the stir-fry sauce, the white parts of the scallions, and the shaoxing wine. Stir-fry everything together for another 2 minutes, making sure everything is well-combined.

1. Slice off the ends of the eggplant, then slice each eggplant crosswise into into thirds. Slice each piece in half lengthwise, then place the flat sides down and make a few additional lengthwise slices to create thick, long pieces (see post photos for reference).
2. Heat a skillet (nonstick or cast iroor wok over medium-high heat, then add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the eggplant and cook, stirring or tossing periodically, until the color has changed and the flesh is soft but not mushy, 2-4 minutes.
3. Push the eggplant aside. If the pan seems dry, you can add some or all of the remaining oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallion (note: if using diced red chili pepper, add it here as well). Stir the aromatics separately from the eggplant for about 30-60 seconds, until fragrant and soft, then toss with the eggplant for another 30 seconds.
4. Add the sambal, soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar, stirring to combine with the other ingredients. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce has just thickened up, 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
