Eggplant, Bell peppers and Chicken with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Green bell peppers and eggplant were in season this summer and autumn in my garden!
I added some chicken breast that was on sale for around 100 yen ($1) to make dinner!
It looks like sweet and sour pork so I cooked it using a similar sauce. It'll taste better when cooled if you use just a small bit of sauce. It's delicious in bento, too!

-It's nice even without doubanjiang spicy bean paste!
-Substitute chili oil or ichimi togarashi (japanese red chilli pepper) for the doubanjiang spicy bean paste.
-Adding extra bamboo shoot, carrot, onion and shiitake mushrooms would be perfect. Like sweet and sour pork!
-Do not stir fry the bell peppers too long or they'll lose their crunchiness.
-Reduce the sauce at the end so that ketchup and vinegar are less acidic. Recipe by moj
