Pork and Eggplant is a great combination. This is the easiest Pork & Eggplant Rice Bowl recipe. I just covered the Rice with the popular Ginger Pork, but I cooked it with Eggplant. Using thinly sliced Pork and Eggplant, it won’t take long to cook. You need to prepare everything before you start cooking.
