Cooking tips 💡

• Before stuffing, lightly dust the eggplant slits with dry potato starch to prevent the filling from falling out during frying.
• When making the batter, avoid fully dissolving the flour—keeping it slightly clumped results in a much crispier texture after frying.
• For the sauce, use crushed whole garlic instead of minced to naturally thicken the soy sauce, ensuring it adheres well to the fried surface.
