Chinese eggplant, longer and thinner-skinned than its Italian cousin, is perfect for stir-frying. Sautéed with summer squash, pork, and an umami-packed sauce, this stir-fry hits all the marks. Brown rice is a healthy swap we prefer here for its heartiness.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil with the rice and stock concentrate. Cook, as you would pasta, for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, return to the pot, and cover to steam.

Prep the vegetables
2

Cut the eggplant into ½-inch cubes. Thinly slice the squash into rounds. Thinly slice the scallions on a diagonal, keeping the greens and whites separate. Thinly slice the garlic. Cut the lime into wedges.

Cook the vegetables
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the eggplant and squash and cook, tossing, 7-8 minutes or until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside

Cook the pork
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and garlic and cook, tossing, 1-2 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the pork to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes, breaking the meat up into pieces, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish the stir-fry
5

Return the squash and eggplant to the pan. Add the soy sauce to the pan and cook, tossing, until the vegetables have been warmed through.

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve. Plate the stir-fry on top, then squeeze over a wedge of lime. Garnish with the scallion greens and enjoy!
