@jorisdekock: As someone who puts tofu in literally everything, I was lowkey skeptical about making eggplant the main thing of a dish. Eggplant has this reputation of being soggy and a bit sad and honestly, fair. But then you salt it, coat it in cornflour, fry it until it's crispy and toss it in a sticky sauce and suddenly you understand. The pickled carrot and cucumber cut right through the richness and the rice pulls it all together. It looks impressive but it comes together in under 30 minutes on a weeknight when you just want something good. Something REALLY good! The full recipe is on my membership page!
