I used 2 packages of tofu because we all like tofu. The sauce recipe should also be doubled because it wasn't saucy enough. Recipe from Cafemom.com

Press the tofu with a spatula to help remove the water. When the tofu is firm and golden flip over and cook on the other side, pressing the liquid out, until golden.
- In a medium bowl mix together the chili paste, wine, soy sauce, broth, sugar and vinegar.
- Add the dry cooked tofu to the marinade in bowl. Let sit 20-30 minutes.
- Slice eggplant diagonally, keeping at 1-inch thickness. Set aside.
