Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Toss the pork, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk 3/4 cup water, the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch in a measuring cup; set aside.
- Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain; keep the noodles in the colander. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant in a single layer and season with salt. Cook until browned and starting to soften, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a bowl.
- Increase the heat to high and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the pork in a single layer; cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom and only a little pink remains, 2 to 3 minutes (the pork will not be cooked through). Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the bell pepper, ginger, eggplant and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper starts softening, about 2 minutes. Add the soy-hoisin mixture and bring to a simmer. Return the pork to the skillet and cook through, about 30 seconds.
- Run the noodles under warm water to loosen and shake well to drain. Divide among bowls and top with the stir-fry.

Steps:
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high. Add oil, then pork, garlic and ginger. Using a fork, break up meat and cook until no pink remains, about 2 to 3 min. Add eggplant, tofu, oyster sauce, 1 tsp chili-garlic sauce and 1/2 cup water. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is tender, about 8 to 10 min. Taste and add remaining chili-garlic sauce if you like it spicier. Stir in green onion. Serve with rice.

I served the mixture over lentils and quinoa rather than rice - it had great taste and texture.
BRAISED EGGPLANT, PORK AND MUSHROOMS
The honest, straightforward cuisine of the Hakkas, a nomadic people dispersed all over China, may be thought of as a country cousin of Cantonese. Dishes from the Hakka diaspora may not have the distinction or impact of those from Sichuan, but because they're interpreted broadly (note the addition of ketchup in many versions of pork and pineapple in the United States), they're fun, and they're easy to cook. This simple recipe for braised eggplant with pork and mushrooms, adapted from "The Hakka Cookbook: Chinese Soul Food From Around the World" by the food writer Linda Lau Anusasananan, is one such dish. Be sure to use small Asian or globe eggplants as they're more likely to keep their color and shape, and if you like more sauce, double it up.

Steps:
- Trim off the stem ends from the eggplant. If using Asian eggplant, slice into 2-inch lengths, and then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. If using globe eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a small bowl, mix the wine, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, pepper and 2/3 cup of water.
- Place a wok or a large frying pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, after about 1 minute, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and rotate the pan to spread. Add the pork, and stir-fry until it has broken into small chunks and is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic, chilies and eggplant; stir-fry until the eggplant begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. 3. Add the water mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is soft when pressed, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and remove from the heat. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro. Note: Slender Chinese or Japanese eggplants hold their shape better and are less seedy than larger, more common globe eggplants.
