Hi kp. Thanks for info. I guess the pre deep fry helps to maintain the attractive color. Will certainly try both dishes and update. Once again thank you. Chloe.

Hi Chloe,
Thanks for your comments.
I deep fry the eggplants for about 2 minutes until the eggplants are soft. This way, I do not need to stir fry the eggplants for a long time. I am not sure exactly this can prevent the color change but that was what I did. I also amend the recipe as I left out the step to deep fry.
For tofu, I use the square tofu in a plastic container. As long as it is not too soft until you cannot handle it should be fine.

Hi kp. Thanks so much posting my fav homemade dishes. Question. Your egg plant still maintain the vibrant hue of purple. So appetizing. Is there anything we need to do to get this color cos mine always turn brownish. Also for the tofu for steaming do I buy the soft or firm type. Thanks for your hard work and looking vforward to many delish and homey recipies. Chloe
