When I was working part time during mys student days in Nagano prefecture, I was introduced to "Oil Eggplant stir fry" dish by an auntie in the kitchen. That's how this recipe began... but it hardly resembles the original!

Adding bell peppers after the eggplant gives the eggplant a syrupy feel, while the bell peppers keep their crisp. This is a stir fry, not a simmer, so be sure to boil the broth down and fry until the oil is sizzling!
It's best to cut the eggplant into large chunks. Recipe by izakeiji
