Garlic Eggplant

Stir-fries are the best way to get in your veggies when a salad just won't do during the cold winter months! The key to a great stir-fry is high heat and flavorful sauce, and this garlic eggplant recipe has both - soft, creamy eggplants are stir-fried quickly in a sweet and tangy sauce filled with powerful aromatics that is bound to make you say yum.
