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.

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.

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.
