Tips for choosing ingredients:
Choosing tofu:
- Good tofu pieces, made naturally, have an off-white or milky white color, with no signs of turning yellow like tofu mixed with gypsum.
- If you don’t buy pre-made tofu, you can make tofu at home.
- See details: How to make delicious and simple tofu at home
Tips for choosing good eggplants:
- Eggplants that are not fresh when processed will not be sweet and fragrant, while overripe eggplants contain many seeds, reducing the quality of the dish. Therefore, when buying eggplants, pay attention to the cap to determine freshness. If the white area between the cap and the skin of the eggplant is connected, that eggplant is fresh, young, and tasty. Eggplants that feel hard and their color changes from pinkish purple to light purple are overripe and should not be chosen.
- Choose eggplants that are dark in color, firm, and have shiny skin for better taste.

Prepare the ingredients
Gently wash the tofu with water. Cut it into small square pieces as shown.
Wash the eggplant thoroughly. Cut the eggplant in half horizontally and then slice it into long pieces as shown, about 1mm thick.
Marinate the eggplant with 1 teaspoon of salt, mix well, and let it sit for about 5 minutes for the eggplant to absorb the flavor. After marinating, wash the eggplant thoroughly with water to remove excess salt.
Tip:
Cutting the eggplant thinly will make it easier to roll.
Using a peeler helps you do it quickly and cut the eggplant pieces thinner.
Marinating the eggplant with salt helps to reduce its bitterness, prevents it from browning, and makes it softer when rolled.
