Shrimp, Eggplant & Bok Choy Stir Fry with Black Rice

We ate this before the chocolate - habanero creme brulee, so we could feel somewhat healthy...

- Marinated some shrimp in lime juice + zest, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, a little honey and a bit of cornstarch.
- Cut a small eggplant into cubes, salted/rested/rinsed (really not sure how much difference that makes, especially with farm-fresh eggplant).
- Stir-fried the eggplant, adding a bit of soy sauce.
- Added some sliced bok choy stems, then the leaves.
- Removed the veggies, added a touch more oil, and stir-fried some garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes & scallions for a few seconds.
- Added the shrimp and cooked until pink.
- Added the veggies back in, plus some water & a little more soy.

Served with black rice, which I've been intrigued by and picked up a bag recently:


It's chewy, nutty and apparently has antioxidants & stuff. But so does chocolate, right??
