Brinjal stuffed with minced meat

Description:
One of my cooking experiments that turned out well enough to be recorded :)

Ingredients:
1 large brinjal
150 gram minced meat
oyster sauce
5-spice powder
coriander powder
corn starch

for the sauce:
chopped garlic
chopped red chilli
Shao Xing cooking rice wine
soy sauce
oyster sauce

Directions:
Cut the brinjal into 4 identical sized pieces (cut in half and lengthwise in half).
Hollow out the 4 pieces and what is cut out from the brinjal can be used for the sauce.

Mix the minced meat with some 5-spice powder, coriander, a bit of oyster sauce and a teaspoon of corn starch.

Stuff the brinjal pieces with the minced meat mixture (arrange the meat on the top).
Heat oil in the pan, fry the garlic with the brinjal insides and the chillie for a minute. Add the stuffed brinjal pieces (minced meat facing up) in the frying pan and arrange them neatly. Pour the wine over the brinjal pieces as well as the soy sauce. Let it get to a boil and cover with the lid. Let it simmer for while (about 10 minutes) until the brinjal gets soft and the meat is cooked. Add a bit of water if the sauce gets too dry. Take out the brinjal when done, and add a bit of oyster sauce to the sauce mixture. Then pour the sauce over the brinjal and serve
