An incredible combination of crispy fried eggplant and a tangy-sweet Chinese black vinegar sauce

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soak the eggplant in salted water for a few minutes before coating with starch, then squeeze out excess moisture—this helps reduce moisture and results in a crispier fry.
  • When reducing the sauce, cook it long enough for the sugar and soy sauce to blend and thicken so the sauce adheres well to the eggplant.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a unique style of Chinese eggplant dish.
  • Fans of tangy-sweet and crispy fried foods.
