This Tofu Eggplant stir fry is my first Vegetarian and Vegan dish that I have created , and let me tell you. I am absolutely in love with it. The crunchy chewy bite of tofu, and the savory saucy eggplant are a match made in heaven.
We'll email this recipe to you, so you can come back to cook it later!
Instructions
Slice Tofu into ½" blocks
Lay down paper towel on top of cutting board and place tofu on top. Cover the tofu with another paper towel and place something slightly heavy on top. Wait 5 minutes.
Cut tofu into thirds
Heat a pan to medium and add oil about ½" to cover the bottom of the pan
Add tofu to the pan. Fry about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside on a cooling rack or paper towel to drain oil.
While tofu is cooking, mince 4 cloves garlic, thai peppers (if using) and cut eggplant into 1" pieces.
Wash basil and pluck 1 cup of leaves
In another pan, add 1 tablespoon oil and heat to medium.
Ass garlic and peppers into the pan. Once fragrant, add eggplant.
Sear eggplant a few minutes on each side until browned, then add ¼ cup water and cover with lid.
After 5 minutes the eggplant should be almost cooked.
