A Chinese-style eggplant dish where minced meat is stuffed into eggplant slices, fried until crispy, and served with a special garlic sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

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.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to elevate their home party or drinking gathering with a sophisticated Chinese appetizer.
  • Anyone wanting to experience the harmony of soft eggplant, juicy meat, and crunchy batter.
