Dinner Riced Out - Steamer Stir Fry

Motivation
It's a week night and I don't want to spend 2 hours cooking and dirty every pot we own. Also, the garden is making a ton of eggplants.

Ingredients
Rice maker:
1 cup rice (white or basmati)
1 bag stir fry vegetables
1-2 Tbsp dried onions
1-2 tsp dried ginger
1-2 tsp dried garlic
candied ginger to taste
1.75 cu chicken broth
.25 cu black vinegar/soy sauce 1:1 mixture



Stir Fry:
chicken thighs or pork chops
eggplants
olive oil
chicken broth
soy sauce
black vinegar
honey

Mise en Place
Put everything in the rice maker in the order listed. Set it to "quick cook."

Chop up meat and eggplant separately.

Method
Fry eggplant slices in olive oil until they start to soften. Splash with a little soy sauce and chicken broth. Steam until tender. Remove from pan.

Fry meat in olive oil to brown outsides and cook mostly through. Add chicken broth, black vinegar, soy sauce and steam until cooked through. Remove meat, but not liquid.

Add honey and reduce to a thick sauce.

When the rice mixture is done, add the eggplant, meat, and sauce to the mixture and serve.
