- Cut aubergine into 1/2-inch wide by 2-inch long strips.
- Mix together soy sauce, sugar and chicken stock. Set aside.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. of the oil in a wide, flat skillet. When warm, add in half of the aubergine. Saute/fry, stirring constantly till seared and wilted, about 5 min. Remove to a plate. Cook remaining aubergine, adding more oil if needed. Transfer to plate. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or possibly skillet over medium-high heat. Add in remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, the ginger, garlic and chile; cook gently but don't brown. Add in water chestnuts and half of the green onions; stir-fry for 5 seconds. Increase heat to high, add in reserved soy sauce mix and the aubergine.
