Tips:

1. Eggplant is an absorbent food. Direct frying will cause it to absorb too much oil. Coat the eggplant strips with a layer of cornstarch to lock the outer layer to prevent them from absorbing too much oil. Also, use kitchen paper to absorb the remaining oil after frying to prevent the dish from being too greasy.

2. Soak the salted fish in clean water until it is softened. This can wash away excess salt on the surface to avoid it being too salty when used in cooking. After dicing the salted fish, fry it in oil until it is dry and fragrant before using it in cooking.

3. After frying the eggplant strips and salted fish, add chicken soup and simmer together to make the eggplant strips more flavorful and have an excellent flavor.

4. Eggplant strips coated with cornstarch tend to stick together when fried. It is not advisable to fry too many at a time. Separate the stuck eggplant strips while frying until the eggplant strips become soft.
