     Title: Sweet & Sour Eggplant w/Garlic Chips
Categories: Vegetables, Herbs
     Yield: 3 servings

     4 cl Garlic; very thinly sliced
   1/4 c  Sunflower oil
          Salt
     3 md Japanese eggplants;
          - quartered lengthwise then
          - cut in 2" pieces
     3 tb Soy sauce
     2 tb Light brown sugar
     1 tb Rice wine vinegar
     1 ts Red-pepper flakes
   1/2 c  Fresh cilantro; rough
          - chopped
   1/4 c  Fresh basil leaves; rough
          - chopped

 Set a small sieve over a heatproof bowl. Combine garlic
 and oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium-low.
 Cook garlic until light golden brown and crisp and the
 bubbles have subsided, 3 to 4 minutes, then quickly
 strain the garlic chips into the sieve set over the
 bowl. Transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined
 plate, season with kosher salt and set aside. Transfer
 the garlic oil back to the skillet.

 Heat the garlic oil over medium-high. Add the eggplant
 in batches, adding more as they shrink in size and space
 permits, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cut
 sides of eggplant are golden-brown and skins are
 slightly wrinkled, 6 to 8 minutes.

 Add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and red-pepper flakes
 and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, tossing the
 eggplant to coat, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes.
 Serve topped with fresh herbs and garlic chips.
