Preparation
Step 1
Combine soy sauce, mirin, syrup, rice vinegar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup water and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to keep onions from sticking. Add balsamic vinegar and continue to sauté another 1 to 2 minutes, until softened. Add eggplant and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft. Add mushrooms, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook a few minutes longer.
Stir sauce again and add to the vegetables. Add green beans. Mix well and cook for another few minutes until sauce is thick and green beans are the desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve.
Variations: Add 1 cup tofu cubes at the same time as the green beans, use crushed red pepper instead of cayenne, and/or serve topped with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro.
