Eggplant and Tofu Stir-Fry
José Picayo
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook the rice according to the package directions. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin, vinegar, and cornstarch.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu; cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add the eggplant, scallion whites, garlic, chili, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, tossing frequently, until the eggplant is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the hoisin mixture, tofu, and scallion greens and cook, tossing gently, until the sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with the rice and sprinkle with the basil.

I also used apple cider vinegar as I could not find rice vinegar anywhere. Great dish.
Will definitely make it again!

I made this tonight! It was so delicious! I skipped the basil leaves, I added onions, and green peppers. So good!

The sweet hoisin really mellows the spice so I agree adding sriracha is a good choice if you like your spice. With that addition this was great! I served over quinoa :)

I like to dust the tofu cubes with Wondra and use sesame or coconut oil to sauté the tofu and eggplant. Also, I think half a tablespoon (or more) of Sriracha works better in this dish than jalepeño.

I used kale instead of tofu and jarred chili garlic sauce instead of jalapeño. It was delicious!

I also used brown rice. I thought it was quite good and easy recipe to follow. I'll probably use the recipe as a base for making more different combinations of stir-fry.

Made this with brown rice instead of white. It was good, but tofu is just not something I get excited about. I don't dislike it, but it's just not my thing. For that reason I'd probably not make this again. I would recommend using Thai basil rather than sweet basil.

My husband and I absolutely LOVED this dish. I made it for the first time today. It's definitely one of our favorites now and so easy to make!

delicious and easy recipe...tastes like a good dish from an asian restaurant. has a lot of kick, so if you don't like spicy, don't make it or cut out the jalapeno :)
