Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Scoring the eggplant densely helps the seasoning penetrate well and greatly reduces cooking time.
  • Shaking the starch in a plastic bag coats the eggplant evenly without getting your hands messy.
  • If you want a saucier dish like a rice bowl, double the amount of sauce and water.

Recommended for

  • Those who dislike the soggy texture of eggplant and seek a crispy, chewy eggplant dish.
  • Those who enjoy sweet, sour, and spicy Chinese-style yu xiang sauce dishes.
