* 2 Tablespoons oil * 1 medium yellow onion, diced * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 1 pound boneless
chicken, cut into strips or large chunks * 3 cups thin eggplant
slices, no larger than about 1-1/4» in diameter (about 1 small Italian eggplant or one large Japanese eggplant) * 1/4 cup green curry paste (I typically use Mae Ploy) * 1 cup coconut milk * 1 cup
chicken broth * 1-1/2 teaspoons fish sauce * 1 teaspoon regular or palm sugar * 1 stalk lemongrass, bruised and cut into several inch pieces * 4 - 5 Kaffir lime leaves * 1 cup bamboo shoots, well rinsed (make sure to buy the matchstick shoots
rather than the bamboo tips) * 1/4 cup roughly chopped Thai basil leaves
