Smoked Stir Fry Japanese Eggplant & Green Beans with Cashews

August 27, 2018 by Joseph Sciascia Leave a Comment

What to have for dinner?  It’s the question that always ponders many of us; I go through the same thing all the time.  Sometimes you have all the ingredients right under your nose, or should I say in my vegetable garden. I harvested a bunch of Japanese eggplant in my garden yesterday as I was relaxing on a perfect 70 degree Sunday afternoon, in August no less.  I knew I wanted to cook a healthy and light dinner tonight so I thought I would make a stir fry with my fresh eggplant.  I wanted to use hoisin sauce but did not have any and I did not want to go to the store.  The main part of what I do for a living is grocery shop at numerous stores every week and that was the last place I wanted to be today.  Necessity is the mother of invention they say right? So I looked at my ingredients and came up with a great stir fry sauce that isn’t too sweet and has a bit of smokiness from some liquid smoke I had in the pantry and voila, a fabulous stir fry that you can serve over whatever grain you would like, I served mine over quinoa.  I’m having some while writing this and it hits the spot for a simple and healthy Monday night dinner.  So try my recipe and I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve waited all summer for my Japanese eggplant, thank God I didn’t name them, since they will be tossed in a hot frying pan soon…

Healthy and delicious…this is a great option for those that are trying meatless Mondays.
