THAI BASIL EGGPLANT
Basil is my favorite herb and maybe a reason I love Thai food so much. The soups, curries, and stir-fries taste amazingly different with just few handfuls of sweet basil. This recipe is super easy and cooks in very little time. Serve with freshly cooked jasmine or basmati rice.

Steps:
- Mix the seasonings in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
- Rinse and dry the eggplant and cut off stems; don't peel. Quarter them lengthwise and cut each quarter into 2-inch wedges. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch with the water and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet(or wok) over high heat for 30 seconds. Add the olive oil with the chili-pepper oil(or red pepper flakes), swirl, and heat for 30 seconds. Throw in the garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir rapidly for 15 seconds.
- Add the eggplant wedges and stir with a spatula in flipping and gentle pressing motions for 2-5 minutes to expose them to the oil.
- Turn heat down to medium high and continue to turn and press lightly for 4-7 more minutes, until the wedges are slightly browned and flattened. Don't press them hard, or they might break and become messy.
- Turn the heat back up to high. Give the seasonings a stir and pour over the eggplant. Stir in scooping and lifting motions for about 30 seconds; give the cornstarch mixture a stir and add to the sauce. Cook to desired doneness.
- Toss quickly, then place into a hot serving dish. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Peel eggplant if desired (I don't). Cut into irregular shapes but same sizes. That makes them easier to turn and keeps them from sticking to the pan.
- Heat wok over med-high heat. Add oil, peppers and garlic. Cook until garlic becomes lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.
- Add eggplant and stir. Add 1/2 cup water cover and simmer 5 minutes, until eggplant has soaked up most of the water and becomes translucent. You may need to add more water as it cooks.
- Add fish sauce and sugar. Stir gently. Turn off the heat and add the basil stir gently.
- Serve immediately.
- Really good with jasmine rice :O.

Steps:
- Wrap tofu in several layers of paper towels. Place in a colander in the sink. Set a plate on top of tofu and weigh down with a large, heavy can. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, shake cans of coconut milk well prior to opening. Pour 1/2 of 1 can into a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in curry paste until well blended. Add eggplant, onion, and bell pepper, stirring well with a rubber spatula to prevent breaking of tender eggplant during cooking.
- Stir remaining 1 1/2 cans coconut milk, dark brown sugar, tamari, rice vinegar, and salt into the saucepan. Mix well. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.
- Unwrap tofu and cut into bite-sized cubes. Stir into curry mixture. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add peas and cook until warm, 1 to 2 minutes more.

THAï EGGPLANT
I tried this recipe yesterday and was really pleased with it. I served it as a side dish with grilled Asian chicken and jasmine rice. It was delicious! As an alternative, add 1/2 cup of cubed mangoes and replace green onions with fresh cilantro.

THAI BASIL EGGPLANT
Steps:
- 1. First, prepare sauce by mixing together all sauce ingredients except cornstarch. Prepare the cornstarch and water mixture in a separate cup or bowl. Set both aside. 2. Chop the eggplant up into bite-size pieces (leave the peel on) 3. Chop other vegetables you are adding 4. Place 2-3 Tbsp oil (peanut or olive) in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, half of the garlic, chillies, eggplant, other vegetables. Reserve the rest of the garlic for later. 5. Stir-fry for 5 minutes. When the wok or frying pan becomes dry, add a little of the water (a few Tbsp at a time) - enough to keep the ingredients frying nicely. 6. Add 2 Tbsp soy sauce and continue stir-frying for 5 more minutes, or until the eggplant is soft and the white flesh is almost translucent. Add a little more water when the pan becomes too dry (up to 1/4 cup). 7. When the eggplant is soft, add the rest of the garlic plus the sauce. Stir-fry to incorporate. 8. Lastly, add the cornstarch/water mixture. Stir well so that the sauce thickens uniformly (this will only tale a minute or less). Remove from heat. 9. Taste test the eggplant for salt. If not salty enough, add a little more fish sauce. If too salt, add 1 Tbsp lime juice (or substitute 1 tbsp lemon juice). 10. Add 3/4 or the fresh basil, stirring briefly to incorporate. 11. Slide onto a serving platter and sprinkle the rest of the basil over the top. Serve with jasmine rice.
