This Chinese pork dish is very easy to make and consists of a stir fry in which pork and eggplant are stir fried together in a skillet or wok.
The eggplant bush bears a fruit of the same name that is commonly used as a vegetable in cooking, it is closely related to the tomato and potato and is native to India and Sri Lanka.
