    Instructions

    Make sauce by whisking all 4 sauce ingredients together. Set aside.
    Heat oil on medium-high in a large non-stick skillet.
    Add tofu and red chili and cook for 5 minutes.
    Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
    Add eggplant, red peppers, and basil, and cook for 3 minutes.
    Add sauce and stir to combine.
    Cook for 2 minutes, turn off heat and cover. Covering the dish will allow the steam to make the eggplant a little softer.
    After 3 minutes, remove the lid and plate. Garnish with fresh Thai basil and serve with rice.
