I don't eat a lot of eggplant which is sad because I love it, but good because I have a mild allergic reaction to it.  A customer mentioned that she makes a stir fried eggplant and Thai basil recipe with chiles and a little fish sauce and it sounded good to me and I have been thinking about making it for my once a year eggplant dinner.  I love a similar dish that I make with chicken.  I was just planning on winging it, but if the combo sounds good to you and you don't want to wing it, here is a recipe with good reviews.  In general if you want to do some sort of stir fry I would recommend the long slender eggplant.  The rounder Italian style eggplant is great for roasting, grilling and making big round slices.
