"We love Chicken and Eggplant at our local Chinese food restaurant; however, I would love to make it at home. I found this recipe on the internet and it is courtesy of Panda Express (a local Chinese fast-food takeout) here. Haven't tried it yet, but placing here for safe-keeping. Prep time does not include marinating time for chicken."

Place 2 tablespoons garlic and red bell pepper in wok and cook for 5 seconds. Add cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce and water to wok. Slice off eggplant stem and slice eggplant.
