Spiced Eggplant & Tomato Stew Recipe

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 !!!

I can eat eggplant & tomato stew every day! It’s easy to make yet satisfying. I always try to cook eggplant because I love seeing the purple colour when preparing it! It is a hearty stew inspired by Chinese dishes. You can make it vegan by skipping this minced pork, and today I’m going to make it as a delicious bento for my lunch. This Spiced Eggplant & Tomato Stew Recipe makes the perfect dish for slow weekday lunch or you could make it ahead of time to enjoy throughout the week. I love it served over rice, but it is also delicious over noodles!
