Lao Gan Ma Curry Eggplant

Lao Gan Ma curry eggplant is delicious, and maybe we have hardly ever had it at home. It doesn’t matter. Today I will tell you how to make it.

Materials

Eggplant Laoganma Chili Sauce

Curry Green Pepper

Beef Garlic

Oil wine

White sugar

practice

1. Wash and chop the beef into small pieces

2. Wash the eggplant and cut it into 6cm segments, wash the green pepper and cut it into pieces, and smash the garlic for later use.

3. Add a proper amount of oil to the pan, add the cut eggplant and fry on low heat until the eggplant becomes soft. Set aside

4. Add a proper amount of oil to the wok. When the oil is slightly hot, add the crushed garlic and minced beef and stir-fry until fragrant.

5. Then add the fried eggplant and stir fry evenly

6. Add a little cooking wine along the edge of the pot and continue to stir-fry evenly over high heat.

7. Add a spoonful of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and stir fry evenly, then add appropriate amount of hot water to cover the eggplant

8. After boiling, add curry cubes and two small spoons of sugar, stir to allow the curry cubes to melt and mix thoroughly with the ingredients.

9. Add green pepper and stir fry evenly

10. Finally, thicken the soup.

Tips

1. It is best to fry the eggplant in oil so that it is more flavorful and fragrant. When frying, remember to fry it slowly over low heat until the eggplant becomes soft. You can also fry it, but it is healthier to use less oil when frying.

2. Adding cooking wine can remove some of the fishy smell of beef and add flavor to the dish.

3. Other seasonings can be added or reduced according to personal taste, but sugar must be added. Don't think the taste will be strange. This is the key to coordinate the overall taste and allow the two flavors to fully blend. Although the taste is good without it, it is definitely more delicious with it~

4. No need to add other seasonings, chili sauce and curry are salty in themselves.

5. Choose tender eggplants. You can judge whether an eggplant is ripe or tender by looking at the size of its eyes. The eyes are located where the sepals and the fruit of the eggplant are connected. There is a white and slightly light green ribbon-like ring. The bigger the ring, the tenderer the eggplant.

6. This eggplant recipe is very simple, the key lies in the use of these two seasonings. You can also replace the seasoning with your favorite ingredients, such as Lao Gan Ma curry beef, chicken, potatoes, etc. But remember to add some sugar, which is the link between the two seasonings~

Tips

The eggplant absorbs the aroma of leeks and mashed garlic and chopped peppers, and has a salty and pleasant fragrance.

The traditional pickling method is to wash the eggplant with clean water, remove the eggplant stalk and sepals, and cut 5 to 6 1 cm deep cuts on the eggplant longitudinally with a knife; then steam it in a steamer until it is soft and hard, evenly place it on a wooden board, press it with another board, and then put heavy objects on it to press and dehydrate it until it stops dripping. Mix the ingredients, such as mashed garlic, leek segments, ground ginger and other seasonings. Mix the dehydrated eggplant with the prepared seasonings and put them in a jar in layers, press and seal it, and it can be eaten after 3 months.

I usually follow the above method, make it on the first night, and eat it with porridge on the second morning~
