Rinse and drain before cooking. In a large saute pan or wok, Saut\u00e9 eggplant on medium-high heat in enough sesame oil to keep it from sticking to the pan. Don&#8217;t be shy with the sesame oil, the eggplant soaks it up like a sponge. Once eggplant starts to soften but is not yet falling apart, set aside in a bowl. Saut\u00e9 the zucchini, you shouldn&#8217;t need to add any more oil at this point. You can add a little stock if you need to. Cook until the zucchini just starts to get soft. It should have some crunch to it still. Saut\u00e9 the ground pork with the garlic and ginger until just about done. Add the eggplant, zucchini, chili garlic sauce, green onion, and stock if it&#8217;s looking too dry. Toss until heated through. Serve over medium grain white rice.<\/p>\n<p>Serves Two<\/p>\n<p><strong>Munchkin note:<\/strong> I like to scoop out a serving for my two year old before adding the chili sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s something magical about spicy ground pork and veggies.
