Yuxiang dishes are the most common practice in Sichuan cuisine. Because the bean paste and pickled peppers that are commonly used to make fish are used as seasonings, they are called Yuxiang. The biggest feature of this fish fragrance is the presence of bean paste and pickled peppers. The unique flavor, the dishes made are very delicious and delicious. The traditional fish-flavored eggplant method is to deep-fry the eggplant before making the next step, and add sugar during the frying process. In order to reduce energy intake, I made this fish-flavored eggplant without deep-frying and no sugar. , The same is very delicious, and not greasy at all.
