Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pound eggplant

  • 2 green onions

  • 2 or more Thai chilies (or jalapeno or habanero peppers)

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced sodium

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 lime

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Remove and discard the green onion roots and chop the onions and Thai chilies. Mince the garlic, separate in two equal portions, and set aside.

  • Chop the eggplant into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside on a separate dish.

  • Cut the lime into eighths. Set aside.

  • In a wok set to medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil, chile mixture, one portion of the garlic, and the eggplant.

  • Sauté for 5 minutes or until eggplant is tender. Stir occasionally and add water in teaspoon portions to prevent the wok from drying and ingredients from sticking.

  • Mix in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and the second portion of garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Remove the wok from heat, and squeeze 1/2 of the lime over the eggplant slices.

  • Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lime wedges.
