Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Eggplant Stir Fry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a vibrant and exotic recipe that combines the sweet juiciness of pineapple with the earthy richness of eggplant. This dish is perfect for those looking to spice up their weeknight dinner routine with a burst of bold flavors.

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 medium eggplant, diced
• 1 cup of fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
• Salt to taste

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• wok
• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

Start by heating your wok over medium-high heat and adding the sesame oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the diced eggplant and stir fry until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, ginger, and red bell pepper, continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Next, stir in the soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar, allowing the flavors to meld together. Toss in the pineapple chunks, green onions, and a pinch of salt, stirring well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Continue to cook the stir fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the flavors have fully developed. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or sriracha if desired.

Once your spicy pineapple eggplant stir fry is ready, serve it hot over a bed of steamed white rice or quinoa. This dish weighs approximately 1200 grams in total and serves 4 people, with each serving averaging around 300 grams. A serving of this flavorful stir fry is estimated to be around 250 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top just before serving to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to each bite.
