Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 eggplants
- 150g ground beef
- 1.5 eggs (0.5 for beef seasoning, 1 for batter)
- 1 cup potato starch
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- a pinch of black pepper
- a pinch of seasoning

- simple soy sauce ingredients (soy sauce, vinegar, a pinch of red chili powder)
Recipe 🍳
- Mix ground beef with black pepper, seasoning, a little egg wash, and oyster sauce. Knead well to prepare the beef filling.
- Slice the eggplant into round pieces, making slits without cutting through the ends to form a pocket-like shape.
- Fill the slits of the eggplant with the prepared beef filling.
- Pour off the top water from the pre-soaked potato starch, then mix the remaining sedimented starch with 1 egg and a small amount of vegetable oil to create a smooth, crispy batter.
- Coat the stuffed eggplant evenly with the potato starch batter.
- Fry the battered eggplant in heated oil until golden and crispy.
- Drain excess oil, transfer to a serving dish, and serve with simple soy sauce dressing.
- Season ground beef with black pepper and oyster sauce to make the filling.
- Make pockets in eggplant and fill them with the beef mixture.
- Mix potato starch with egg and oil to create a smooth, crispy coating.
- Fry the eggplant until golden and serve with simple soy sauce.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding a small amount of vegetable oil to the potato starch batter helps reduce oil absorption during frying, resulting in an even crispier texture.
- For extra flavor, you can serve additional garnishes like aromatic sauce alongside the basic simple soy sauce.
