Ma Po Eggplants 麻婆茄子
Classic Sichuan dish – Ma Po Tofu, is many people’s favourite. Spicy chilli sauce with tofu and minced pork. This time I make a little twist of the dish, use eggplants instead of tofu, very delicious!
Who doesn’t like Ma Po Tofu? One of my favourite Chinese homey dish, when I can’t think of anything for dinner, I love to cook this. Just serve with a big bowl of plain rice, simple , comforting and sooo delicious.
Here in where I live, I can’t find a place sell fresh tofu but only tofu in box. So I decide to use something else, cause Ma Po sauce will go well with everything anyway, and it does.
