     Title: Eggplant Adobo
Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Rice
     Yield: 4 servings

     5 tb Neutral oil
 1 1/2 lb Small Italian eggplant; in
          - 1" cubes
          Salt & pepper
   1/4 c  Soy sauce
   1/4 c  Unsweetened coconut milk
     2 tb Distilled white vinegar
     1 tb Turbinado or light brown
          - sugar
   1/2    White onion; thin sliced
     3 cl Garlic; minced
     1    Fresh or dried bay leaf
   1/4 c  Chopped basil; add'l small
          - leaves as garnish
          Steamed jasmine rice; to
          - serve

 In a 12" nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil
 over medium. Add half of the eggplant, season with salt
 and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until
 golden, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with 2
 tablespoons of the oil and the remaining eggplant.

 Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut
 milk, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2
 tablespoons of water; mix well.

 Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion to the
 skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly
 golden, 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1
 minute.

 Add the browned eggplant, soy sauce mixture and bay leaf
 and toss to evenly coat. Cover, reduce heat to low and
 cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the eggplant is
 tender but still has structure, about 10 minutes.
 Uncover and cook over medium heat, stirring
 occasionally, until the sauce thickens and nicely coats
 the eggplant, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt
 and pepper and stir in the chopped basil.

 Divide the eggplant mixture over rice among bowls.
 Garnish with basil leaves and serve warm.
