Sung Si-kyung's Eggplant Rice Bowl

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.
