2 large garlic cloves, minced
12 pieces canned baby corn, drained
8 snow peas, strings removed
6 large shiitake mushrooms (about 4 ounces), stemmed, caps sliced
1 small Chinese or Japanese eggplant, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk*
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce* or vegetarian oyster sauce*
1 2-inch square baked teriyaki-seasoned tofu, cut into 1x1/2x1/4-inch pieces
