Ah Pa's wife most favorite dish | Yu Xiang Qie Zi (Sichuan-Style "Fish-Fragrant" Eggplant)

Yu Xiang Qie Zi (Sichuan-Style "Fish-Fragrant" Eggplant). Fish fragrant (yu xiang) is actually one type of cooking style, which usually combines ginger, garlic, minced meat and bean paste together to give it a full body flavoured dish. And Eggplant is one of the most commonly used main ingredients to go with this style of cooking method. Ah Pa was told (after making this video), that we can keep nicer purple colour for the eggplant if we soaked them into some white vinegar diluted water, perhaps Ah Pa will try it one day.

300g of eggplant (cut into approx. 5cm (2inchs) lengths)
