Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

eggplant 1~2 pieces
cleaned shrimp 200g
green onion 1/2 bunch
flour, egg, breadcrumbs as needed
cracked pepper 1 tablespoon
butter 1 tablespoon
garlic 2~3 cloves
onion 1/4 piece
heavy cream 200ml
white wine 2 tablespoons
clams 10~15 pieces
broccoli a small amount
salt a pinch

Recipe 🍳

Peel the eggplant using a peeler and slice it into even thicknesses.
Mince the shrimp with the back of a knife, then finely chop them while preserving texture. Mix in salt and chopped green parts of green onion, then pound until well blended into a paste.
Fill the eggplant slices with the shrimp paste, shaping them like sandwiches.
Coat the stuffed eggplant with flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
Fry in oil preheated to 150 degrees Celsius until fully cooked through and moist inside.
In a dry pan, sauté cracked pepper until fragrant. Add butter, sliced garlic, chopped onion, and white parts of green onion, and stir-fry.
Add clams and white wine, and simmer until the clams open. Then add heavy cream and blanched broccoli, and reduce until thickened into a sauce.
Place the finished cream sauce on a plate, top with the crispy fried eggplant menboshah, and serve.

Mix minced shrimp with salt and green onion to form a paste.
Peel and slice the eggplant, stuff with shrimp paste, coat with flour-egg-breadcrumbs, and fry.
Simmer cracked pepper, butter, garlic, onion, clams, wine, and cream to make a pepper cream sauce.
Place the sauce on a plate and arrange the fried eggplant menboshah on top.

Cooking tips 💡

Always remove the skin from the eggplant before cooking, as the skin can easily peel off during frying.
The cream sauce should be thick enough to resemble a stew—this ensures it won’t compromise the crispiness of the fried eggplant while being ideal for dipping.
