Squid Eggplant
1.
Preparation materials: long eggplant, two squids, four eggs, three carrots (I only put half a root, actually one is more suitable), a cucumber, a green onion, and ginger.
2.
Start making the batter. Beat the eggs on the plate (so it’s easy to mix with the flour). Put in a scoop of flour (about 200ml)
3.
Stir for a while and put in a small spoon of salt, not too much
4.
Stir evenly without gnocchi and the texture is similar to yogurt
5.
Cut the long eggplant with an oblique knife. Be careful not to cut it into a shape similar to fish scales.
6.
Cut into this way, cut both the upper and lower sides, and the lower knife should not be too deep to avoid cutting into sections
7.
Cut the squid into pieces that are larger than the nails. Don’t be too small because the squid will shrink when heated. Some of the squid must be cut into long sections. Some of the squid is leftover from the hot pot before, so it’s best to cut flowers and cut flowers. Some trouble, if you have time, it’s best to cut flowers and then cut into pieces.
8.
Scallion, chopped into pieces, minced ginger
9.
Diced carrot and cucumber
10.
Sliced eggplant wrapped in batter
11.
When the pan is fried, you must use a small fire so that it can be deep-fried. Don't be anxious, but you can't eat delicious!
12.
When frying the eggplant, you can prepare the sauce: two tablespoons of vinegar
13.
Two tablespoons of soy sauce
14.
Six teaspoons of sugar. Because sugar and vinegar must be the same amount or it will be sour, I put six teaspoons of sugar. 2 teaspoons and 1 tablespoon are the same amount.
15.
After adding a proper amount of water, add a spoonful of starch, which is about half a bowl. This is based on the amount of material. If the material is more, add more water and less material.
16.
Mixed sauce
17.
At this time, the eggplant will be fried and turned golden brown. I saw the time it took about fifteen minutes to fry or prick the eggplant with chopsticks. If the eggplant is pierced in one click, it means it’s OK.
18.
Put the right amount of oil in the pot
19.
Add the diced radish and stir fry for a while
20.
Add squid and stir fry
21.
Fry the squid until slightly rolled, then add diced cucumber and stir fry.
22.
Add a spoonful of oyster sauce for freshness.
23.
Cook it for a while because the squid will get soup, but it doesn't take too long to boil and cook for two to three minutes. It will be too long. The squid will get fragrant and put it in the sauce.
24.
Turn off the heat when the soup in the pot is bubbling and thick.
25.
Pour the fried broth onto the eggplant.
Tips:
1. The eggplant must be fried on a low fire.
2. Don't cook the squid for too long after it's in the pan. Cook it for 2-3 minutes after boiling.
3. When changing the knife, do not cut the eggplant.
