Hi CiCi Li, here where I live I don't get Chinese eggplants. I get the larger and more rounder ones with a deep deep bluish colour. Can you please let me know the approximate weight of the eggplants that you used. Thank you!

Thank you CiCi Li for this wonderful cooking lesson ! 🌺

This looks So delicious!!! 🤤 It reminds me of a similar dish from local restaurant but they included shrimp and water chestnuts. What, if any, substitutions can be made for things like the bean paste, wine and chilies? Jalapeño? Thai? Serrano?

@CiCiLi

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! If you can't find pixian bean paste, you could use other types of bean paste or miso. For the wine, you could use any cooking wine. And for the chilies, you could use anything else that you enjoy as well. See you at the new release this Friday!

This recipe looks amazing! I'm definitely trying it after work. Quick question, is "Broad Bean Paste" the same as Touban Djan? Also, the recipe calls for salted chili peppers, but could I use pickled red peppers instead? Last but not least, do you think it would work with some dried Korean chili flakes and green Sichuan peppercorns for an extra kick? (finely chopped)

@CiCiLi

5 күн бұрын

Thank you for asking! The Pixian broad bean paste is Sichuan-style doubanjiang, which is a little spicy. You could also replace it with the regular doubanjiang. And yes, you could also add other types of chili peppers, pepper flakes, and Sichuan peppercorns for additional flavors. Happy cooking! ☺️

Great video! How long should we steam the eggplant for before adding to wok?

Hello! I'd love to try your recipe this weekend. Just one question, the pixian doubanjiang I bought is not as red as yours, I wonder why? will the taste change? thank you! :)

It most likely doesn't have chili oil in it. You could simply add about 2 teaspoons of chili oil to the dish. It will taste good with or without the chili oil. I hope it works out for you! ☺️

- I don’t like to deep fry. When I stir fry it takes a while to cook it but it loses its color. Is their an alternate way to cook it without losing its color. - Also, I like thinner gravy. Should I add more water or reduce the cornstarch.

You could also steam or blanch eggplants in water. If you like a thinner sauce, you could reduce the cornstarch by half. Have fun cooking! 😊
