Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Yu Xiang Qie Zi (Sichuan-Style "Fish-Fragrant" Eggplant). Fish fragrant (yu xiang) is actually one type of cooking style, which usually combines ginger, garlic, minced meat and bean paste together to give it a full body flavoured dish. And Eggplant is one of the most commonly used main ingredients to go with this style of cooking method. Ah Pa was told (after making this video), that we can keep nicer purple colour for the eggplant if we soaked them into some white vinegar diluted water, perhaps Ah Pa will try it one day.
Ingredients:
300g of eggplant (cut into approx. 5cm (2inchs) lengths)
40g of minced pork or minced chicken (marinate with light soya sauce and Shaoxing wine)
1 tablespoon of chopped ginger
1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
1tablespoon of chopped bird’s eye chili
Sauce:
1 small bowl of water
1 tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee chili bean sauce
1 tablespoon of black vinegar
2 tablespoons of light soya sauce
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons of corn starch (mix well with water)
Few dashes of white pepper
Garnishing:
Chopped fresh spring onion

Ah Pa's wife's favorite dish must be absolutely the best! I will cook this soon for my family. Thank you for sharing, Ah Pa.
Great I’m going to try out cooking this dish. Thank you 👍👍👍😋
Mrs Ah Pa is 100% right. I make similar version but without the mince. After eggplant fork-tender then just add remaining sauce ingredients direct to pan and simmer a few more minutes. The eggplant skin helps hold shape. Lebanese, Indian nor Japanese eggplant preferred to Italian globe type eggplants for this reason. I think a good chilibean paste is essential to the dish.
Thanks chef Ah pa
Very good version. Always too many work frying eggplant first before cooking
My daughter-in-law n me favourite dish....dah lama tak masak this dish. Thx ah Pa~ will cook this week 😋 Less oil but more healthier 😉

Hi, Ah Pa, today dinner, I cook your wife favourite eggplant dish. If I have minced meat, spicy bean paste & black vineger, the eggplant dish sure taste absolutely delicious. I use minced bean paste (tau chu) mixed with minced chilli padi, turn out 80% good. Tq Ah Pa for sharing

Yummy ❤
Remove all skin from the egg plant (you can't eat the skin cucumbersome when eating have to take away skin each time). Cut french fries size. (1cm x 4cm) Pan press with good amount of oil till cook soft (at least 10 to 15 min). Press all oil out and set aside. You cannot use the wood laddle. Use the wok stirer (wok chan). Remove extra oil on wok and add in garlic mince, chopped shallots, chopped red chilli, mince meat, seasoning (oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce *color*, dash maggi soy sauce, shaoxing wine, sugar, maggi white pepper powder, starch). Chopped or cut long green onion. Water right consistency. Serve
very good
