CHINESE EGGPLANT WITH TOFU AND THAI BASIL



Chinese Eggplant with Tofu and Thai Basil image

This recipe is full of Thai flavor and so easy to make. I always use Chinese eggplants (the longer, thinner eggplants), but other kinds will work just as well. Serve over brown rice.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) package firm tofu, cubed
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Thai chili sauce, or more to taste
½ cup chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Place tofu on a paper towel-lined plate. Cover with another paper towel and place a heavy pot on top. Allow to sit until extra moisture has released into the paper towels, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat peanut oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add tofu, onion, and garlic and saute until onions are soft, about 5 minutes, adding water if tofu sticks to the pan. Add eggplant, cover, and cook until eggplant starts to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Add soy sauce and chili sauce, lower heat to medium, and continue cooking until eggplant becomes translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add basil and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.

Crispy Szechuan-Style Eggplant and Tofu image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 block extra-firm tofu, drained, pressed dry between paper towels and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon peanut oil, plus more for frying
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
3 Thai bird chiles, minced, or as desired
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Cooked white rice, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine 2/3 cup of the cornstarch, the salt and pepper. Toss the eggplant pieces in the cornstarch mixture to coat, shaking off the excess; set aside. Repeat the process with the tofu.
  • Heat 1/2 inch of the peanut oil in a large, deep, straight-sided skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Working in batches, cook the eggplant first, tossing gently until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining eggplant and the tofu.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, lime juice and remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
  • Carefully drain the oil from the skillet, and wipe out any residue using paper towels held with tongs. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil to the skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add the ginger, about 1 teaspoon of the minced chiles (or to taste) and the garlic. Cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 30 seconds; pour in the chicken stock mixture and bring it to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked eggplant and tofu to the skillet and toss gently to combine. Stir in the sesame oil and remove from the heat. Serve immediately over rice and garnished with the remaining minced chiles if desired and chopped cilantro.

  • Lay slices of eggplant in a single layer on a baking sheet. On both sides of each slice, brush with oil and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Bake 12-15 minutes until eggplant is tender and easily pierced with a fork (no need to flip). You aren't trying to brown the eggplant, just cook it. Leave the oven on when the eggplant is done.
  • While the eggplant is cooking, make the creamy sauce. In a mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup whisk together all of the ingredients: broth, nondairy milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, and salt. It will be very thin, but the starch and nutritional yeast will cause the mixture to thicken substantially when heated.
  • Next, prepare the béchamel. In a blender or food processor, combine the tofu, cashews, tapioca starch, garlic powder, and salt. Blend or process until smooth. Add the lemon juice and blitz to combine.
