Method:-

Cut the eggplant into strips. Season it with some salt n rest it for 20minites. I used 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Cut the red, yellow and green bell pepper into small chunks.

And have some chopped spring onion, diced white onion from spring onion n chopped cilantro

Add enough cooking oil in the wok. Use the medium heat to fry the eggplant until soft. U can test the temperature of heated oil with 1 piece of eggplant strip. If u see a lots of bubbles then that is perfect. Take it out n set aside.

Leave 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok. Stir fry ginger and garlic for minute on low medium flame.

Add green, red n yellow bell pepper, onion, green chilies, dried red chilies, spring onion, cilantro and stir fry it on medium flame for 3minutes.

Add soy sauce, vinegar, salt and sugar in veggies. Mix it well.

Add sesame seeds n mix gently.

You are done. Serve this in plate.
