Summary
This asian-inspired vegetable dish features eggplant, mushrooms, and bean sprouts in a garlic-ginger hoisin sauce. The recipe calls for Chinese or Japanese eggplant, which is long and skinny. If you can't find Chinese eggplant, you can sub in regular eggplant and chop into 1-inch cubes. This could be a side dish or a vegetarian main dish. Add tofu or other plant-based protein source for a complete vegetarian meal.
