Chinese eggplant has fewer seeds and a creamier texture than the Italian globe variety and takes very well to stir-frying. Well seared on the outside, silken in the center, it takes on the bold flavors of ginger and chiles in this colorful dish.
In your bag
- ¾ pound Chinese eggplant
- ½ pound green beans
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ ounce fresh ginger
- 1 red bell pepper
- Fresh basil
- ¼ cup raw cashews
- ¾ pound pork shoulder strips
- 5 dried red chiles (optional)
- 3 tablespoons stir-fry sauce (tamari-mirin-coconut vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
