      3/4  pound         Japanese eggplant (about 3 cup sliced)
      1/3  pound         boneless chicken breast (or 1/4 lb.  tofu)

    2 1/2  cloves        garlic -- crushed
    3                    red chili peppers -- seeded and chopped
   12 1/2                basil leaves
    2      teaspoons     yellow bean sauce (Yellow bean sauce

 Slice unpeeled eggplant crosswise into slices 1/8-inch thick. Thinly slice
 chicken (or, if using tofu, cut tofu into 1/2-inch cubes). Heat oil in a
 wok; add garlic and stir fry until light brown. Add eggplant and chicken
 (or tofu) and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Add red chili peppers, basil leaves,
 and yellow bean sauce; mix well. Serve immediately, since eggplant and
 basil turn dark if dish sits after cooking.
