Spicy Yellow Tofu With Eggplants

A simple but delicious dinner comfortable for spicy lovers.

You could say, for those who are used to eating chilies, it is a blessing for us. Why? Because chili can be a very helpful seasoning, simple ingredients into great side dishes.

But yeah, did you know, the price of chilies is almost $3 for 1 kg. It is quite expensive here. If it's cheap, chili is only around $2-$2.5. Approaching holidays or holidays, it even reaches $6. Even though it's expensive, people here will still buy chilies because chilies are like rice to us 😅

For dinner today, I have yellow tofu and an eggplant. That's enough for one meal for me and my husband.

The trick is to use green chilies and red chilies for this recipe. To create great taste in our taste buds. Also, the key is using red onion and garlic to make the beautiful and tasteful oil which affects the taste of the dish.

Did you know about yellow tofu before? In my area it is popular because the texture of yellow tofu is denser. Suitable for side dishes that use more stirring movements. Because yellow tofu won't break.

A popular side dish that uses Yellow Tofu ingredients is stir-fried spicy yellow tofu, with green chilies. So, I will share with you today.

Anyway, you can replace red chili and green chili with red bell pepper and green pepper. 😊

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Eggplant

Prepare salt and water. Then soak the eggplant that has been cut into pieces for a few minutes while we prepare the other ingredients.

---

---

Prepare Tofu

Cut Yellow Tofu into pieces. Here, I used a slanted diagonal cut. You can also use cube shapes.

---

---

Prepare Chillies And Onions

Slice red onion and garlic. For chillies, I cut them at an angle. We have been doing the slanting direction of cutting chilies for generations and are often found in original dishes here.

---

---

Fry Yellow Tofu

Preheat cooking oil. Then, fry yellow for about 2 minutes for each side.

---

---

Fry Purple Eggplants

After frying yellow tofu, then fry purple eggplants. Each side 1.5 minutes-2 minutes per side.

---

---

Stir-fry Seasoning

Preheat about 2 tbsp of cooking oil. Then, add garlic and red onion first. Stir well and leave for about 1 minute over low heat. This is to allow the natural aroma and taste of the red onion and garlic to penetrate perfectly into the oil, to produce maximum flavor in the yellow tofu and eggplant.

After adding garlic and red onion, then add chilies. Stir-fry for more 1 minute.

---

---

Add The Rest Of Ingredients

Add fried yellow tofu, fried purple eggplant, and also slices of spring onion. Don't forget to add salt and sugar. Stir fry them until the spring onions look wilted. Then, remove it.

SERVING

I served Spicy Yellow Tofu with a little rice. You can see for yourself that on my plate there are more side dishes than rice because it's for dinner. Well, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Sometimes I also serve this type of food with baked sweet potatoes for a light dinner

Hopefully you will have new inspiration from my simple recipe. Just simple but my family has always liked this recipe as an accompaniment to rice. Spicy! 😊
