Cooking Steps
- Add 1 cup water and 1/8 tsp salt to a medium pot (Use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- Add rice to the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 11-13 min. (NOTE: Reduce heat to low if water is boiling over.)
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, if desired, peel half the eggplant (use all for 4 ppl). Cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then mince or grate half the ginger (use all for 4 ppl).
- Thinly slice green onion.
- Meanwhile cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Using a strainer, rinse bok choy to wash away any hidden
dirt.
- Add eggplant to a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over top, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Broil in the middle of the oven, tossing halfway through, until tender and golden brown, 9-12 min.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add ginger and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min.
- Add bok choy, Szechuan sauce, soy sauce and 1/4 cup (1/3 cup) water to pan with beef. Cook, stirring often, until bok choy is tender, 2-3 min.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then add half the rice to pan with beef mixture (use all the rice for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until combined, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. When eggplant is done, gently stir into beef mixture.
- Divide beef and eggplant rice between bowls.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
- Drizzle as much chili-garlic sauce over top as desired.
