I used 2 packages of tofu because we all like tofu. The sauce recipe should also be doubled because it wasn't saucy enough. Recipe from Cafemom.com

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was burnt and the tofu was raw. The sauce was also inedible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I didn't enjoy this recipe at all. The eggplant was tough and the tofu was rubbery. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The eggplant was mushy and the tofu was dry. The sauce was also lacking in flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The eggplant and tofu were a bit bland, and the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. I might try it again with some modifications.

This dish was easy to make and tasted great. The eggplant was soft and flavorful, and the tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sauce was also delicious and had a nice kick to it.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The eggplant was tender and the tofu was crispy. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. We'll definitely be adding this to our regular rotation.
