Detailed Steps for Cooking Tomato Braised Eggplant with Minced Meat
Add green onions, minced ginger, and white pepper to the minced meat. You can also add some vegetables like asparagus if desired.
Cut the eggplant into pieces and mix with the minced meat.
Arrange the eggplant pieces on a plate, resembling small sandwiches.
Dip each piece in batter to prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil and to keep them intact.
Fry in oil until set on low heat, then remove and refry on high heat until golden brown.
Set aside the fried eggplant.
Sauté green onions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then add tomatoes and stir-fry. Add a small amount of water and braise, seasoning with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and white pepper. Fresh tomatoes are recommended for a natural flavor.
Add the eggplant and braise for a minute, then add salt and simmer.
Delicious braised eggplant with minced meat is ready to serve.
