Szechuan Eggplant and Veggie Stir-Fry

"I've never eaten eggplant this way, and it's so good. It gains an almost meaty texture and really makes the dish something special. It's earned a regular rotation on our dinner menu. The ingredients look simple but the flavor is restaurant-quality. For the Szechuan sauce, I use Recipe #72983. It makes double the amount needed for this recipe, so use half and save the rest, or just halve the recipe when making it."

  1. I scaled the recipe down for two and it made alot, but that's okay because my son and I finished it off quickly. We don't have piquillo peppers around here that I know of, so I used anaheim. I had peanut szechuan sauce but only used a little cause it's so hot, and subbed in some teriyaki sauce(I actually used alot more than called for) and it was delicious. Thanks! Made for PRMR game.
