* 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
