I had some eggplant and zucchini fresh-picked from the garden and just had to cook it. This is what I came up with. My chef daughter was impressed and ate heartily.

Glenda's easy stir-fry creation is a tasty dinner. Udon noodles are similar to spaghetti so if you can't find them, spaghetti works just as well. Would you believe we couldn't find zucchini at the store? So, we substituted summer squash for testing this recipe. It was so good! If you run into this too, definitely use this swap. The eggplant tastes great with the squash. Both absorb the flavor of the sweet and salty teriyaki sauce. Plate the stir-fry on the noodles for an easy dinner. You even serve this with white rice.
