Spicy Eggplant Mapo Tofu (un-stir fried Eggplant and Tofu)

#veganfriendly #vegetarian # oil free # sugar free Mapo Tofu is one of the China’s famous dishes. And it's also one of our favorite Chinese food dishes. We can easily order it whenever we go to a Chinese restaurant. It's always good along with steamed white rice. The creamy sauce is so delicious mixed with soft tofu. The last time we ate tofu mapo was 3 weeks ago, when we visited Yellowstone National Park. The food is okay. Well, we can't compare because it is the only Chinese restaurant there. But we realized the dish was too oily and sweet. After all, now we are home. I can make it myself. And of course everything you cook yourself, you can control the amount of ingredients and seasonings. Especially salt, sugar and oil. And because we try to limit oil and sugar, in this recipe I don't use sugar and oil. And believe me, even without oil and sugar, it still tastes good 😋 So, here's the recipe!
