Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

1~2 eggplants
200g cleaned shrimp
1/2 green onion
appropriate amount of flour, egg, breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
1 tablespoon butter
2~3 cloves garlic
1/4 onion
200ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons white wine
10~15 clams
a small amount of broccoli
a pinch of salt

Recipe 🍳

Peel the eggplant using a peeler, then slice it into even thicknesses.
Mince the shrimp with the back of a knife, then finely chop to preserve texture. Mix in salt and chopped green parts of green onion, then pound into a paste.
Fill the slices of eggplant with the shrimp paste, forming a sandwich-like shape.
Coat the stuffed eggplant with flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally roll in breadcrumbs.
Fry in oil preheated to 150 degrees until cooked through and moist inside.
In a dry pan, sauté crushed whole peppercorns to release aroma, then 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 stir in heavy cream and blanched broccoli, and cook down to a thick sauce consistency.
Place the finished cream sauce on a plate, top with the crispy fried eggplant menbosa, and serve.

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

Cooking tips 💡

Always peel the eggplant before cooking, as the skin can easily come off during frying.
The cream sauce should be thick like a soup so it doesn’t compromise the crispiness of the fried eggplant while still being ideal for dipping.
