PORK AND EGGPLANT IN HOT GARLIC SAUCE
Asian stir-fry. This is based on one of my favorite dishes at my favorite Chinese restaurant. Feel free to adjust seasonings to your personal preference. We like ours spicy and usually use more of the ginger, garlic and chiles.

It comes from the "Cooking Class" section and is from Hugh Carpenter who runs the Montano Mercantile in Santa Monica, California.For a variation, he suggests using shrimp instead of the pork. Add to wok just before serving and stir-fry about 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:
- Place the eggplant in a large bowl. Sprinkle all over with salt and toss. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch until the cornstarch dissolves. Stir in 3/4 cup water, the garlic and the soybean and chili pastes.
- In a large wok or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. When the oil just starts to smoke, add the pork, season with salt and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate.
- Dab eggplant dry with paper towels. In the wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium high until it just starts to smoke. Add the eggplant, and sauté until lightly browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soy-sauce mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Once the sauce thickens, add the pork and 3/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a lively simmer until the sauce thickens and the eggplant is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt. If you choose, serve with rice.
