Cuisine suggestions?

Question

The DW and I love food which is very flavorful and sometimes spicy, like Kung Pao Chicken or a good Mexican platter with hot salsa. We'd like to try new cuisines which would have lots of healthy veggies, some meat, and lots of flavor. Any suggestions on ethnic cuisines to try or particular dishes which we may enjoy which? Any dishes at Chinese restaurants which are spicy, have lots of veggies, and some meat. Kung Pao is the only one we've really liked so far.

KOREAN SEASONED EGGPLANT:

(Kaji Namul)

300 g eggplant (any type)

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp rice wine or vermouth (I used Japanese rice vinegar)

1 clove garlic

1 green onion

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

pinch of salt

pinch of black pepper

1 tsp red pepper flakes

Slice the eggplant lengthwise into quarters. If using the long European kind, cut in half, first to make shorter slices. Steam the pieces in a bamboo steamer for about 7 minutes.

Meantime, mix the soy sauce, wine or vinegar, finely chopped onion and garlic, sesame oil and seeds and the pepper flakes. Adjust the salt and black pepper taste.

Once the aubergine has partially cooled down, wrap in a towel and squeeze as much water as possible. Tear the sliced aubergine into bite-sized pieces and mix with the marinade.

Garnish with a few snipped chives and serve.
