Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tofu

    Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.

  2. 2

    Slice the Eggplant

    Wash and slice the eggplant into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Eggplant

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of cooking oil. Add the sliced eggplant and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Mince the garlic and chili pepper, then add them to the skillet with the eggplant. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Combine and Flavor

    Return the fried tofu to the skillet, add the wheat-free soy sauce, kaffir lime leaves, and basil. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.
