Cooking tips

  • Use firm panko tofu instead of soft or soup-type tofu to prevent the filling from falling out.
  • Since the batter contains no egg, the pieces tend to stick together—fry them in small batches with space between each piece for maximum crispiness.
  • Chili oil burns easily over high heat, so adjust the flame and cook slowly to bring out its aroma without scorching.

Recommended for

  • Parents who want to get their kids to enjoy eggplant despite disliking it.
  • Home cooks looking to try an elegant Chinese-style main course.
