Easy & Simple Mapo Eggplant with Miso and Pork

I've been making this family favorite for ages.
Soaking eggplant in water does get rid of its bitterness, but it also makes it less likely to soak up a lot of oil, so you can cut calories.
If you have gochujang, try it instead of the miso + doubanjiang. This recipe is really easy and delicious. For 2 servings. Recipe by Chiton

Healthy Mapo Eggplant with Tofu Healthy Mapo Eggplant with Tofu
I wanted to eat some mapo eggplant but didn't have any ground meat! That's when I remembered that there's a method of cooking tofu so that it has the texture of ground meat, so I tried it out to in this version of mapo eggplant.User 4 or more cooking chopsticks held together to stir fry the tofu until it has the texture of ground meat. Adjust the amount of doubanjiang to taste. If you add some sancho pepper it becomes a dish for adults only.It's delicious just with eggplant and tofu, but I recommend adding carrots and bell peppers.
