Air-fryer eggplant

This is the whole eggplant after cooking. I call it one snack. I recall fried eggplant (in sticks, like French fries) from childhood, so I decided to try doing something similar in the air fryer. I…

#Cookiing red curry with eggplants, tofu, and pineapple chunks. Threw in a chopped up Scorpion hot chilli pepper into it for good measure. I don't know why I was surprised when it tasted mouth-burningly hot. The pepper is only 1,207,764 in the Scoville scale.

I generally do the same — that is, use up tofu quickly. I put it in the freezer one day, then into the fridge the next, and once it's thawed use it.

I eat stir-fries mostly, and improvise what goes into them based on what's on hand.
