Make curry

In same pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium until shimmering. Toss in eggplant and a generous pinch of salt and cook until it starts to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in shallot, garlic, ginger and lemongrass and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Mix in red curry paste and stir until all the veggies are well coated. Add pork, bok choy and 1 cup water. Simmer until bok choy wilts, liquid reduces and flavors have infused, 5 to 7 minutes.
