Cooking tips

  • Pre-frying the eggplant allows it to absorb the sauce like a sponge without becoming mushy, greatly improving texture.
  • Doubanjiang is quite salty, so maintaining the ratio with oyster sauce (2:1) is important.
  • Crushing the Vietnamese chili peppers finely adds a clean spiciness that cuts through the richness.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a golden, umami-rich eggplant rice bowl instead of a mushy eggplant dish.
  • Those who want to make a splendid Chinese-style one-bowl meal with oyster sauce and doubanjiang.
