Sweet chili on a stir fry

A new Thai place is generally either inexpensive and homey, or costly and swanky. P Thai Eatery sits in between with its stir-fries and curries, all ranging between $10 and $14 depending on your protein choices. The eggplant stir-fry hits all the right notes. Delightfully plated fresh vegetables are still firm to the bite. A small pool of sweet chili sauce is coupled with tender chunks of chicken, all cooked deftly enough to let each component’s taste shine independently and in conjunction. And the eggplant, hoo boy. Of all Thai eggplants I’ve found, this ranks as the best around. 7837 Stockton Boulevard, Suite 700, (916) 476-6546.
