Thai Oyster Mushrooms and Eggplant

Its hard for me to pare down ingredients in a typical Malay or Thai dish as I love them all....

I stuck to the ubiquitous rules of sour, sweet, salty, hot for this one.

Making the balance of these is the skill of this cuisine. By all means mix and match as you desire.

These gorgeous Turkish orange heriloom eggplant are a great substitute for the green and purple varieties you may often see. Small cultivated Oyster mushrooms lend a great texture contrat for the less rigid eggplant

This recipe has:

Oyster Mushrooms
Eggplant
