1 1/4 pound eggplant
2 green onions
2 or more Thai chilies (or jalapeno or habanero peppers)
4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced sodium
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 lime
Salt and black pepper to taste
Remove and discard the green onion roots and chop the onions and Thai chilies. Mince the garlic, separate in two equal portions, and set aside.
Chop the eggplant into 1/2 inch pieces and set aside on a separate dish.
Cut the lime into eighths. Set aside.
In a wok set to medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil, chile mixture, one portion of the garlic, and the eggplant.
Sauté for 5 minutes or until eggplant is tender. Stir occasionally and add water in teaspoon portions to prevent the wok from drying and ingredients from sticking.
Mix in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and the second portion of garlic and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the wok from heat, and squeeze 1/2 of the lime over the eggplant slices.
Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lime wedges.
