12 ounces Japanese eggplants, sliced lengthwise into quarters (depending upon size)

Combine marinade ingredients and marinate chicken for a minimum of 2 hours in the refrigerator.
In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil for 20 seconds. Add chicken and stir quickly (separating chicken) for 30 seconds. Remove chicken and drain.
Place 2 tablespoons garlic and red bell pepper in wok and cook for 5 seconds. Add cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce and water to wok. Slice off eggplant stem and slice eggplant. Add eggplant and stir until the mixture boils. Turn heat to low, cover and cook 2-3 minutes (make sure mixture does not run dry).
