Tarifi denedim ama patlıcan biraz yumuşak oldu, normal mi yoksa daha mı az pişirmeliyim? Bunun dışında çok güzeldi.

Şeker yerine bal ekledim, bence daha doğal bir tat verdi. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim!

Çıtır tofunun kıvamı çok hoşuma gitti fakat sosu biraz fazla tatlı buldum, belki bir dahaki sefere daha az koyarım.
