    Sichuan eggplants stir fry is another great rice killer eggplant recipe.

    The sauces used is very similar with Mapo tofu, only Sichuan peppercorn powder is slightly limited. Days ago, I get a lovely feedback about my favorite mapo tofu saying the flavors and sauce of Mapo tofu is so great and is there any other ingredients that can match well with Mapo sauce? Then I thought about the idea in my mind and found several possible ingredients-- eggplants, winter melon and radish. They share similarities with tofu, plain themself but can absorb flavors after cooked until soft.Though it calls only very basic and simple Sichuan style seasonings like doubanjiang, this comes out super great and I love this so much.

    Cook's Note

     In order to reduce the oil absorbed during the pan-frying process and fasten the process, we should soak the eggplant strips in salty water for around 15 minutes. Water absorbed can speed up the cooking process.

    Steps

    Cut eggplant into strips. Then soak the eggplant strips in salty water for around 15 minutes. Move out and drain. ch

    Heat another 1 tablespoon of oil in wok, and fry mince pork until crisp and browned. Then transfer the pork out.

        It is calculated by the recipe plugin automatically, Leslie. What's wrong? But it means you end up with even the sauces. But we usually don't eat the sauce and oil at the bottom of the plate.
