This year, winter has been warm. Our eggplant starts to produce, and they are truly organic as we fertilized it with compost made from our grass and leaves. We harvested some of them over the weekend and made this vegetarian recipe, Stir Fry Tofu Eggplant (Ca Tim Xao Dau Hu). As a matter of fact, this dish is a vegan dish. This recipe is quick and easy to make. It takes only 20 minutes to complete. And most importantly, it’s delicious and healthy. The tofu should be slightly crunchy, and the eggplants should be soft while still keeping its purple color. To make this dish, you’ll need a stir fry pan or a non-stick one.
