Ingredients
1 large Eggplant (peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut into ¾-inch slices)
3 Bell peppers (thinly sliced)
1 pound Portobello mushrooms (stems and gills removed, cut into ½-inch slices)
1 cup Onion (chopped)
1/4 cup Hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
3 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 teaspoons Grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Arrowroot powder
1/2 cup Thai basil (thinly sliced, divided)
4 cups Cooked rice
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (optional)

Step by Step Instructions

  2. Stir the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, arrowroot powder, and 1 cup of water together in a bowl, then add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then stir in half of the basil.
