Rice Flour, Wheat Flour, and Egg

  • Stir with chopsticks while adding water (water is used to adjust the viscosity) until the rice flour, wheat flour, and egg form a batter. Stop adding water when the batter can coat the eggplant and meat slices without falling off. Then, place all the eggplant and meat slices into the batter and coat them thoroughly.

Mixing

  • Add 10-30ml of cooking oil to a non-stick pan and heat over low heat.

Heating the Pan with Oil

  • Use chopsticks or a spoon to place the battered eggplant and meat slices into the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then fry for 3-6 minutes (the amount of cooking oil may decrease during frying; add more if necessary).

Starting to Fry

  • Sprinkle with salt, stir-fry evenly, and remove from the pan to serve.
