Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound Japanese Eggplant (about 3 cups) diced
  • 1/4 pound Organic Tofu (use Firm or Extra Firm Tofu)
  • 6 tablespoons Oil
  • 2 cloves Organic Garlic crushed
  • 1 Red Chile seeded and chopped
  • 10 leaves Basil (use Sweet Basil Leaves)
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow Bean Sauce to taste (see note below)

Directions

Slice unpeeled eggplant crosswise into slices 1/8 inch thick.  Cut tofu into 1/2 inch cubes.  Heat oil in skillet; add garlic and stir-fry until light brown.   Add eggplant and tofu and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.  Add remaining ingredients; mix gently.  Serve immediately, since eggplant and basil turn dark if dish sits after cooking.

Note:

Yellow Bean Sauce from Thailand is saltier than sauce from Hong Kong or China.
