1 Japanese or regular eggplant, 1 1/2 pounds, cut into 2x1/2-inch strips (3 cups)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips (1 1/2 cups)
1 large carrot, cut into julienne strips (1 cup)
1 cup sliced bok choy stems and leaves
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound snow (Chinese) pea pods (2 cups)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Steps:

Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Steam 5 to 8 minutes, adding pea pods for the last minute of steaming, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
