INSTRUCTIONS
Prep - Have everything cut and measured; ready to go into the wok. Cut bell
pepper and chayote squash into 'matchsticks. Roughly chop (1-inch pieces)
the bok choy. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Thinly slice the eggplant; or if
using globe, slice to square-up the eggplant (an end-cut and 4 side cuts).
Cut the remainder into thin wafers. Measure and mix the curry powder into a
paste as instructed on envelop. Allow 10 minutes.
~ - Heat the wok, add the oil and swirl to coat pan. Fry the chayote squash
and bell pepper: about 4 minutes.
~ - Add bok choy and eggplant; fry about 2 minutes. (Add a little more oil
only if needed.)
~ - Add mushrooms and ginger, and garlic, if using. Cook about 1 minute.
~ - Add the Curry paste and warm through (less than 1 minute.)
~ - Add coconut milk, soy, lime juice and coriander leaves. Stir just to
warm and combine but not to blend flavors (See notes).
~ - Taste: adjust flavors with pepper and optional coconut extract (1/8
tsp.).
~ - Serve at once with hot cooked rice, optional soy and hot sauce (such as
Sriracha).

Cooks Notes . . . As described by Jay Solomon: "This dish engulfs your
palate with rolling aromatic flavors accented with occasional lightning
flashes of heat." In order to maintain crispness and unique flavors
(surprises!), halve the cooking time used in Jay's recipe. Acknowledgement:

“When Holy God draws near in true revival, people come under terrible conviction of sin. The outstanding feature of spiritual awakening has been the profound consciousness of the Presence and holiness of God. #Henry Blackaby”
