Eggplant Stir fry with Thai Basil and Chicken

Tablespoon oil

garlic, diced small

1-6 chilis, diced small (optional and adjust as needed)

chicken,

onion,

bell peppers, bite-sized pieces

pea pods, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Thai Basil

soybean paste

Tablespoon oyster sauce

soy sauce

rice wine vinegar

sugar

Cut the eggplants into 1x2 inches pieces. In a medium bowl, soak the eggplant slices with water and 2 teaspoons salt to keep the eggplants from browning. Set aside while making the sauce.

In a small bowl, mix the sauces and sugar. Set aside until ready.

Add oil to a wok, a large frying pan, or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and chilis, and fry for 30 seconds or less until fragrant but not too browned.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Add the chicken, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Stir a few times until the chicken turns a slight golden brown. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan if the chicken gets too dry.

Add the vegetables (save the basil for last), stir, and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Add more water if necessary to loosen up the food from the pan.

Drain the eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Add the eggplants and cook for 4-5 minutes until wilt and soft.

Add the sauce, stir and cook for 1 more minute. Adjust seasoning as needed here. Add more soy sauce, sugar, or a light touch of vinegar. Also, add more chilis here if desired.

Add the fresh basil leaves, turn the heat off and serve with cooked jasmine or brown rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and basil, and even add a dash of chili sauce if in need of more heat. Enjoy!&nbsp;
