In a 12" nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil
over medium. Add half of the eggplant, season with salt
and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until
golden, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with 2
tablespoons of the oil and the remaining eggplant.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut
milk, vinegar, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2
tablespoons of water; mix well.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion to the
skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly
golden, 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 1
minute.

Add the browned eggplant, soy sauce mixture and bay leaf
and toss to evenly coat. Cover, reduce heat to low and
cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the eggplant is
tender but still has structure, about 10 minutes.
Uncover and cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until the sauce thickens and nicely coats
the eggplant, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt
and pepper and stir in the chopped basil.

Divide the eggplant mixture over rice among bowls.
Garnish with basil leaves and serve warm.
