Cooking Steps
To prepare the ingredients, rinse the Jasmine rice well. Slice the baby eggplants diagonally, peel and finely chop the ginger, and deseed and slice the long red chilli. Peel and crush the garlic, trim and destring the sugar snap peas, thinly slice the yellow zucchini on an angle, and roughly chop the cashews.
In a medium saucepan add some salt to the water and bring to the boil. Add the Jasmine rice and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until soft. Drain and return to the pan. Cover.
Meanwhile, place the baby eggplant into a medium bowl, add in the ginger, long red chilli, garlic, and olive oil, and leave to sit for 5 minutes.
Heat a large wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat, add the marinated eggplant to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Now add in the hoisin sauce, salt-reduced soy sauce, sugar snap peas and yellow zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the veggies are slightly soft. Remove from heat and stir through the cashews.
To serve, divide the rice between bowls and spoon over the saucy ginger eggplant stir-fry.
