Stir Fry Tofu and Eggplant using Carmelina

Carmelina

is not a name of a woman :-)

it is a brand of this chili mixture

it mainly have eggplant in it

i tried this before and add more Sambal Oelek into it

and my husband couldn't eat it, too spicy for him.

this time I didn't check if I still have Sambal Oelek

didn't realize that I didn't have any

oh well too late, I have chopped all ingredients

so I just have to cook them without the extra Sambal Oelek.

here is the recipe:

3 big shallots, finely chopped

1 garlic, thinly sliced

1/2 onions, finely chopped

1 jar of Carmelina

1 block of tofu, cubed, pan fried.

2 lebanese eggplants, sliced, boiled in a hot water

1-2 tbsp of lemon juice

salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Pan fried the cubed tofu first.

Using the same oil

add shallots and onion,

sautee until fragrant and translucent,

add garlic, pan fried tofu and eggplant,

sautee until garlic is fragrant,

add salt and pepper,

mix well, taste and adjust if needed,

add lemon juice and quickly switch off the stove.

Mix well and ready to serve with steamed jasmine rice.

The result? It says "Explosive Mixture" on the jar

well, it is nice but not spicy at all,

I couldn't taste the chili at all

but my hb like it, he also said that it's not spicy at all

at least he could enjoy it :-)

I think next time I will add not only Sambal Oelek again,

but also cherry ripe tomato.

... enjoy ...
