Stir-Fried Lamb With Eggplant and Chiles image

Lamb shoulder, though far less popular than rib chops or legs, is delicious and juicy. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for the stewing or braising. It's also the best cut of the whole animal for stir-fries, retaining just the right amount of chew while browning gorgeously. This dish, seasoned with garlic, ginger and red-pepper flakes, can be prepared in less than 15 minutes. It's wonderful alone or served over rice.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The lamb was tender and juicy, and the eggplant was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less chiles if you don't like spicy food.
