- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 12 ounces lean pork loin, cut into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons black bean chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon black bean chili sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons palm kernel oil
- 2 Japanese eggplants, cut in 1/2 and sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch sections
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green jalapenos, thinly sliced (or to taste)
- Coconut Scallion Rice
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, can use low-fat
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 -4 scallions, sliced thinly on a bias
Method
- Stir together the cornstarch and soy sauce and pour over the pork strips. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Stir together the black bean chili sauce, chicken stock and sugar. Set aside until ready to use.
- Preheat the wok over medium-high to high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Swirl quickly to coat the sides of the pan with the oil. Add the eggplant and cook until tender, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and swirl again to coat all sides. Cook the onions, stirring, until slightly tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the bell peppers and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the red and green jalapenos and cook for 30 seconds.
- Return the eggplant to the wok and add the pork. Cook, stirring, until pork is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the black bean mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until everything is well coated with the sauce and heated through.
- To make rice, in a medium saucepan combine the jasmine rice with the coconut milk, chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, undisturbed for 5 minutes. Add the scallions and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
