Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cut the block of tofu into cubes and press between paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sriracha sauce to create the marinade. Set aside.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove tofu from the pan and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  5. Add the chopped eggplant and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Return the crispy tofu to the pan and pour the marinade over the tofu and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce.

  7. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the tofu and veggies to absorb the sauce and flavors.

  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  9. Serve the Spicy Tofu and Eggplant Stir Fry over cooked rice and garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
