Cooking tips

  • When making chili oil with chili powder, avoid adding it to oil that’s too hot—let the oil cool slightly first to prevent burning and achieve a rich, reddish, fragrant oil.
  • Coating eggplant with potato starch before frying helps the sauce cling well and gives a chewy, smooth texture that doesn’t slip off in the mouth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make delicious Sichuan-style eggplant dishes without doubanjiang.
