CHINESE EGGPLANT WITH TOFU AND THAI BASIL
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.

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.

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.

- Slice the eggplant into 1/4 in thick slices and lay them out on a paper towel. Sprinkle a bit on the top side of the eggplant. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Dab off the water droplets that come to the top. Flip the eggplant slices, and sprinkle a little more salt on that side. Let it sit for 20 minutes, and dab off the water again.
- While the eggplant is drying on the first side, blend the tofu, nutritional yeast (or parmesan), garlic, and pesto together.
- While the eggplant dries on the second side, sauté the peppers, onions, and crumbles together until fragrant. Add in the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of your favorite casserole pan. Lay down some of the eggplant slices. Spread on some of the tofu ricotta. Layer a third of the sauce on top of the tofu. Lay down more eggplant. Repeat the tofu, sauce, and more eggplant. Repeat for another layer ending with the sauce on top. Sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese.

- 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.
