Method
- Heat a wok over a high heat and add half the oil. Add the aubergine and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and softened. Add a few splashes of water to create some steam to help the aubergine cook, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Spoon the aubergine onto a plate.
- Add the remaining groundnut oil to the wok. When the oil starts to smoke, add the garlic, ginger and the red chilli and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the hot chilli bean paste and stir together.
- Add the stock and the fresh tofu squares and bring to a simmer. Add the light soy sauce, vinegar and the brown sugar. Stir in the spring onions and the cornflour paste and cook to thicken for a minute. Serve with steamed jasmine rice, if you like.
