Servings: persons

2 -4 tablespoons sesame oil
1 large onion, diced
1 (16 ounce) package extra firm tofu, cubed
12 ounces broccoli
1 small-medium eggplant, sliced and cubed
8 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup chicken broth or 2/3 cup vegetable broth, heated
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
6 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes, to taste

1
In a bowl, prepare sauce: combine heated broth and cornstarch, stirring to dissolve. Add vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (to taste). Set aside.
2
In another bowl, toss eggplant in a few shakes of salt. Let eggplant cubes sit in salt for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with water and pat dry. Doing this eliminates the slightly bitter taste eggplant sometimes has. Set prepared eggplant cubes aside.
3
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok on stovetop.
4
Add minced garlic and diced onion and fry until onion becomes golden or translucent.
5
Add broccoli and stir-fry about 2 minutes, adding more oil or broth if veggies begin to stick to pan.
6
Add cubed tofu and continue to cook 1-2 minutes; then add cubed eggplant and keep cooking 4-5 minutes, stirring to keep from sticking to the pan bottom.
7
Finally, turn heat down to medium or a simmer. Stir the sauce you've prepared, and then pour it into the pan. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens nicely.
8
Serve and enjoy!
