This recipe swaps out the traditional tofu for eggplant, which has a similar soft texture but absorbs the rich flavors of the sauce even more.

These simple stir-fried greens are quickly cooked over high heat in a wok, so that the vegetables remain bright green in color.

You can put kungpao sauce on everything from eel to venison to tofu, but the one of the quickest and most satisfying canvases is shrimp.
