Procedure

1 Cut the caps off the eggplants, chop randomly and soak in water. Remove calyxes and seeds from the bell peppers, and cut into bite-size pieces. Cook the green soy beans in boiling water, and shell the beans.
2 Cut the sliced pork into 2 to 3cm-wide pieces.
3 Cut the Welsh onion into bite-size lengths. Make a shallow vertical cut in each piece, spread the pieces flat, and cut into fine strips. Mince the ginger and garlic.
4 Combine the ingredients for the seasoning mix and stir well.
5 Heat a wok and add the vegetable oil, then fry the ginger and garlic. When you smell the aroma, add the pork. When the color of the pork changes, add the drained and dried eggplant, and continue cooking. Stir in the seasoning mix and bring to a boil over high heat.
6 Skim off the surface grease, and add the bell peppers and beans. Stir in the water and potato starch mixture. When the sauce thickens, add the vinegar and mix with the dish.
7 Serve on a dish, and top with the Welsh onion prepared in 3.

memo
Eggplant absorbs a lot of oil as well as seasonings. Try not to use too much oil during frying. If it scorches and sticks to the bottom of the pan, add a small amount of water or sake and steam the ingredients.

[Technique for using a minimum amount of oil for frying]
Heat the empty wok well over low heat before use. If the wok is hot enough, the oil will spread well and it will be easier to fry using a small amount of oil.
