HOT AND SOUR EGGPLANT

You can serve this as a vegan main dish on top of cooked grains or as a side dish. I like it on the side with some fried rice loaded with vegetables and some grilled chicken. Other vegetables, like colored peppers and chunks of onion, can be added. The secret is the sauce. If your eggplants are not young and tender, peel them first.
