Prepare to meet your new go-to stir-fry. This recipe has got the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and spicy notes. Mirin is a type of rice wine and because of its sugar content it’s responsible for the sauce’s glazey consistency which coats the tender eggplant and snow peas beautifully. When it comes to selecting eggplant, bigger is not better so look for small to mid-sized ones that are firm and have fresh green leaves at the stem end. Larger, more mature eggplants have bigger seeds, so the cooked flesh often does not have a smooth texture. Serve over cooked basmati or jasmine rice.
