Ingredients 

  • 2 medium to large eggplants, equivalent to around 2.5 lbs, cut into one inch pieces
  • 14 oz firm tofu, cut into 2 inch rectangles
  • ¼ cup avocado oil, or any neutral cooking oil
  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 4 green onions, cut white part and chop, with the green part, cut into one inch length pieces
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • ¼ cup mushroom powder
  • 1 Tbsp black pepper
  • cup coconut water

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, on medium heat, add oil and fry eggplants 3 minutes on each side untouched. You might need to do this in two batches as you want a single layer when pan frying. Set aside.
  • Deep fry the tofu. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, on medium high heat, add ¼ cup oil and ¼ cup sugar. Cook until the sugar melts and turns to a nice caramel amber color.
  • Then add shallots, garlic and white part of the green onions and stir fry for one minute.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients minus the green part of the green onions.
  • Lower heat to medium low, then let it simmer for 5 minutes, tossing halfway.
