Okay, this is what I do with eggplant. Get out the wok. Put in oil. First put in some cut up peppers and minced garlic cloves, saute on low while you peel and cube the eggplant. Add the eggplant. You may need to add more oil, the eggplant really sucks it up. Cook the eggplant, covered, on low or medium low until it starts turning to mush. (It will end up being a great sauce on all the veggies.) Then I add other vegetables-the ones that take the longst to cook first. Broccoli, zuchinni, asparagus (bottom parts here, tops later), green beans, mushrooms, napa cabbage, bean sprouts, cilantro. I usually add some hot sauce right after the mushrooms, along with chicken that I pre-cooked in the oven. If I have tofu (firm!) I add cubes right after the mushrooms. You can also add some fresh tomatoes. If you end up with a lot of "juice" you can mix a tablestpoon or two of cornstarch in water and add it in, let it boil until thick. If you do carbs you can serve this over rice, or just eat as is. A wok full of this makes five or six good meals, I put it in containers and eat it for breakfast at work.
