Cooking Steps
Step1:Prepare all kinds of ingredients first. The eggplant should use the coarser one in my picture. Just cut it vertically. If there is only a very thin long eggplant, it can be cut obliquely with a blade and a lot of stuffing. After all, eggplant boxes with big stuffing are more delicious.
Step2:Cut the eggplant into blades . Connect the blade is to cut through each blade without cutting. In this way, each two pieces are connected together. The stuffing in the middle is not easy to spread.
Step3:Mix the dumpling stuffing with a little salt and soy sauce. The stuffing for making eggplant box is saltier than that for making dumplings. Eggplant folder is thicker than the skin of dumplings. If it's too light, it's tasteless. I use pure pig meat filling. I can also use cabbage pig meat filling, leek meat filling and other filling that is easy to ripen.
Step4:Put the stuffing in the eggplant folder. Use chopsticks to flatten the surface of the meat filling. Leave a little space on the edge so that the eggplant won't squeeze out the meat filling when it is clamped together.
Step5:Stuff all the eggplant boxes like this.
Step6:Break up the two eggs and mix them well. Roll the eggplant box quickly in the egg liquid. Dip it evenly into the egg liquid.
Step7:Put the eggplant box into the dry corn starch and roll it. Let all sides evenly dip in the starch. Shake off the extra part.
Step8:Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot until it's 50% hot. Fry the eggplant box in the oil for about 2 minutes. Turn over halfway.
Step9:Fry until the surface of eggplant box is golden, crisp and put aside.
Step10:Add a small bowl of water, half a spoon of salt, 1 spoon of braised soy sauce and 1 spoon of sugar to the remaining starch after just wrapping the egg liquid. Put the eggplant box in a non stick pan. Pour in the juice. Collect the juice quickly. The sauce here is the water starch with seasoning. It's used to thicken. It's not only beautiful in color, but also easy to taste. I put the eggplant box into the pot twice. So I pour the juice into the pot twice. Pour half the amount each time.
Step11:It's about 10 seconds. Slide the eggplant box into the plate. You can eat it while it's hot.

Cooking tips:1. Judgment on oil temperature - if the temperature is controlled by an electromagnetic furnace, it is about 120 ℃. You can also insert the wooden chopstick head into the oil. When there are small bubbles around the chopstick head, the temperature is enough. 2. Starch has been used twice in this dish. One is when it is wrapped and fried. It can make the skin thinner and crisper. The color is even. The second is when it is thickened. It can make the vegetable bright and tasty. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
