Cooking tips

  • Briefly blanching the eggplant in oil makes the skin softer and helps the seasoning penetrate deeper into the flesh.
  • For an extra exotic, bold flavor, add a drop of Sichuan peppercorn oil at the end to taste.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a new way to enjoy eggplant without picky eating.
  • Home cooks who want to make a restaurant-quality Chinese-style rice bowl from scratch.
