I used to make lantern eggplants by steaming. My daughter pointed out that the steamed eggplant has too much moisture, and the taste is a bit watery! So this time I decided to change it to deep-frying and then wrap it in sauce, and make a sweet and sour tomato sauce, which is delicious and beautiful, and also very appetizing! My daughter tasted a bite and thought I made too little and not enough to eat! "

1. Put the pork puree in a basin, add cooking wine, salt, light soy sauce, white pepper, ginger juice and chicken powder and mix well.

Tips:
In fact, if this dish is used for banquets, it can be decorated a little bit. I am lazy thinking about eating it myself, otherwise it will be more beautiful and festive.
