Ingredients

For the Veggie Rolls:

  • 1 eggplant, sliced lengthwise into 0.5 cm thick pieces
  • 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • 100 g green beans, cut into 3 cm pieces
  • 4 pieces white tofu, sliced horizontally, scored with a crisscross pattern
  • 1 egg, fried without oil

For the Soy Sauce:

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 red bird’s eye chilies, sliced
  • 1/2 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
  • 1/4 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • Water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Grill the Vegetables:

    • Heat a non-stick skillet and grill the eggplant, green beans, and carrot until they are tender and slightly charred.
  2. Prepare the Veggie Rolls:

    • Arrange the grilled eggplant slices horizontally on a flat surface. Place the green beans and carrot sticks on one side of the eggplant slices. Brush the opposite side of the eggplant with beaten egg white. Roll the eggplant around the vegetables, pressing gently to seal the rolls. Grill the rolls briefly with the seam side down until they are set. Set aside.
  3. Grill the Tofu:

    • Grill the tofu slices on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
  4. Make the Spicy Soy Sauce:

    • In the same skillet used for grilling, sauté the minced garlic and sliced chilies until fragrant. Add a splash of water, followed by the oyster sauce and sweet soy sauce. Simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened.
  5. Assemble the Dish:

    • Place the fried egg in the center of a serving plate. Arrange the grilled tofu around the egg and place the vegetable rolls between the tofu pieces. Drizzle the spicy soy sauce over the vegetables and tofu.

Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious and healthful dish!
