Thịt ba chỉ (bacon or pork chop) bite size.
Marinate and do a quick stir-fry with some cooking oil – depending on how much fat you already have in the meat.)
I do it straight in my pressure cooker, minced garlic optional.
Add the sliced eggplant (whatever size you like, long or round) and pre deep-fried tofu.
Sprinkle in some salt. Add some turmeric powder.
Add oyster sauce if you like.
Cook it to the tenderness of your choice.
Add as much tía tô as you like, maybe 5 minutes before serving.

I usually add a little shrimp paste (which can make a big difference in the taste.)
Add more turmeric powder if needed.
You would need to make the dish a few times before you know how much of each type of seasoning and herbs to use.
Some people like it with tomato and betel leaves. (And without meat).
I only use about a third of the water, and don’t find the need to blanch the eggplant since the cooker can do the job with less water.
