In a large bowl, whisk together chopped chicken and the marinade ingredients. Set aside for a few minutes. Cut your eggplants and carrots about 1 1/2″ thick.
In a large skillet, cook eggplants over medium-high heat for 10 minutes until thoroughly cooked. Remove eggplants and set aside in a bowl. In the same frying pan, cook chicken on medium-high heat until done.
Add eggplants to the chicken and saute for another minute on high heat. Now it’s time to add your sauce ingredients. After placing the sauce ingredients, saute for 1 minute. Now, add garlic and ginger and saute for another minute. Turn off the fire throw in your green onions and allow this to cook with the steam. Add sesame seeds for garnish on top and it’s ready to serve a side with white rice. Don’t forget to drizzle the sauce when serving with rice. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure not to overcook your chicken.
Don’t cook green onions. Stir in green onions at the end, it will soften up with the steam of the stir-fry. The green onions give out a fresh and great crisp to every bite when they stay fresh in your stir-fry when serving.
