Hi Elaine! Love your blog!!! Thank you so much for posting all things Sichuan… I used to frequent a popular Sichuan restaurant but havent gone there in quite a long time since I found your blog. Been making lots of Sichuan dishes myself. There is one however that I used to order that was my favorite. It was called Eggplant and Tofu Hot Pot. It had the creamiest strips of eggplant in a brownish grey sauce that was brought to the table in a clay pot bubbling hot. When I ordered it I would ask the waiter to ask the chef to leave out most of the tofu and add more eggplant. Im sure you could add other protein as well. Are you familiar with this dish? Is so, will you pleeeeaaase post a recipe? I just ordered a clay pot and would love to make this recipe for my first dish in it.
Thank you so much for all you do!

Yes, a recipe would be great. This looks like a fun casual outdoor dinner with friends.
We make Korean BBQ outside and it’s great, this would be a nice change.

Is there a Chinese wine or beer that would be good with this?

Hi Elaine, your blog inspires me for everyday cooking I think it’s the only authentic Sichuan food blog .
Now is it possible to make this dish at home? I ate it in many small restaurants in chengdu but I would like to try to make it as well since I don’t live in China. Thanks a lot for everything you write.
