Place near the stove. To prepare stir-fry: Heat a 14-inch flat-bottom carbon-steel wok over high heat. (You'll know it's hot enough when a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.) Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add shrimp and stir-fry until just cooked, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Swirl in another 1 tablespoon oil; add eggplant and scallions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil; add garlic and green beans. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes more. Return the shrimp to the wok. Add the reserved sauce and cook, gently stirring, until well coated and hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Tips Tip: Go for sustainably raised shrimp. Look for fresh or frozen shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as the Marine Stewardship Council. If you can't find certified shrimp, choose wild-caught shrimp from North America; it's more likely to be sustainably caught. People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
