How to make delicious Vegan Eggplant Tofu Stir Fried with Spicy Chili Oil 魚香茄子

I love spicy food especially the Sichuan style, but I can’t handle the grease from most of the Chinese restaurants. I love the flavor coming from the hot wok stir fried. I came out with a simple recipe of Stir-fried tofu that’s not grease but still flavorful. Check the video here and scroll down to see fully written recipe.

I picked medium size Japanese eggplants, because they usually have less seeds. If you don’t like tofu, you can change it to any kind of ground meat. The traditional Chinese recipe is ground pork. It is so flavorful that you only need a bowl of rice to go with. Let me know what you think if you have a chance to make the dish.
