Here's what you'll need:

String Beans (large bowl)
Shitake or Pioppini Mushrooms (1 pt)
Garlic (1-2 cloves)
Cilantro (1 bunch)
Basil (1 bunch)
1-2 Hot Peppers (green or red or both)

Asian Sauces:
My favorite for this recipe are Plum, Sweet Red Chili, Soy
It's super easy. Here's what to do:
- Cut ends off beans and halve, cut hot peppers into very small pieces, wash all other vegetables and herbs and cut everything into bite sized pieces.
- Heat 2Tbsp Olive Oil in a large pan or wok
- Crush garlic and place it into pan with hot peppers, mushrooms and eggplant. Stir until eggplant gets soft and brown
- Add string beans, tofu and corn, stir til heated (beans should stay crisp)
- Add 1-2 Tbsp of each Asian Sauce and heaps of basil and cilantro, stir til heated (1 min or so)
- Transfer all into a large bowl so the vegetables stop cooking
- Bring bowl to table
