  5. Comments: The eggplant (aborigine) is called k'un-lun tzu kua by the Chinese, meaning "Malayan purple melon." The name is evidence which, even though this remarkable vegetable has been documented in China as a common vegetable as far back as the Zhou dynasty (1050 BC-AD 249), it arrived via southeast Asia. Very possibly it originated in India, traveled to Southeast Asia, then into China.
  6. Perhaps because of its distinctive beauty, the eggplant was elevated in the thirteenth century as an offering food to the shrine of imperial ancestors. And the shiny dark skin was used as a cosmetic by society ladies to stain their teeth black.
  7. From a culinary point of view, however, the unique properties of the eggplant make it an exciting ingredient to marry with spicy sauces such as in this dish.
