    Title: Eggplant Adobo
    Categories: Vegetables, Herbs, Rice
    Yield: 4 servings

    5 tb Neutral oil
    1 1/2 lb Eggplant; in 1" cubes (8
    - cups)
    Salt & pepper
    1/4 c Soy sauce
    1/4 c Unsweetened coconut milk
    2 tb Distilled white vinegar
    1 tb Turbinado or light brown
    - sugar
    1/2 White onion; thin sliced
    3 cl Garlic; minced
    1 Fresh or dried bay leaf
    1/4 c Chopped basil; additional
    sm Leaves for garnish
    Steamed jasmine rice; for
    - serving

    In a 12" nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil
    over medium. Add half of the eggplant, season with salt
    and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until
    golden, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with 2
    tablespoons of the oil and the remaining eggplant.

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut
    milk, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2
    tablespoons of water; mix well.

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion to the
    skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly
    golden, 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1
    minute.

    Add the browned eggplant, soy sauce mixture and bay leaf
    and toss to evenly coat. Cover, reduce heat to low and
    cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the eggplant is
    tender but still has structure, about 10 minutes.
    Uncover and cook over medium heat, stirring
    occasionally, until the sauce thickens and nicely coats
    the eggplant, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt
    and pepper and stir in the chopped basil.

    Divide the eggplant mixture over rice among bowls.
    Garnish with basil leaves and serve warm.
