2 long Japanese eggplants, or 1 medium eggplant, about 1 pound total
2 medium bell peppers, any color, cut into short narrow strips
1/4 cup dry white or red wine, or cooking sherry
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

STIR-FRIED RAINBOW PEPPERS, EGGPLANT AND TOFU



Stir-Fried Rainbow Peppers, Eggplant and Tofu image

My method of roasting the eggplant before stir-frying is not at all Chinese, but it allows me to pull off a beautiful, succulent stir-fried eggplant that doesn't require at least 1/4 cup of oil. The eggplant is already soft when you add it to the wok. Seek out long, light purple Asian eggplant for this.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Asian eggplant
1 tablespoon rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons peanut oil, rice bran oil or canola oil
1/2 pound firm tofu, cut in 1/2-inch squares and drained on paper towels
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 fat garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 bell peppers of varying colors
1 Anaheim pepper
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and score down to but not through the skin. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil, lightly oil the foil and place the eggplant on it, cut side down. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until the skin begins to shrivel. Remove from the oven, allow to cool until you can handle it, and cut in half along the score down the middle of each half, then into 1/2-inch slices
  • Combine the rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce and the soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the tofu. Let it sit in the pan for about 30 seconds, until it begins to sear, then stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until lightly colored. Transfer to a plate
  • Swirl in the remaining oil, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and eggplant, sprinkle with salt to taste and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok, add the hoisin sauce mixture and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and infused with the sauce and the peppers are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve with rice, grains or noodles

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Cut the eggplant properly: Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes. This will help to ensure that the eggplant cooks evenly.
  • Soak the eggplant in water: This will help to remove the bitterness from the eggplant.
  • Use a hot pan: When you're stir-frying the eggplant, make sure the pan is hot before you add the eggplant. This will help to prevent the eggplant from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're stir-frying the eggplant, don't overcrowd the pan. This will help to ensure that the eggplant cooks evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just eggplant and peppers. Try adding other vegetables to your stir-fry, such as carrots, broccoli, or zucchini.
  • Season to taste: Once the stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried eggplant and peppers is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal.
