How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh eggplant
- You should choose eggplants that have shiny, smooth skins and even color, avoiding those with wrinkled or dark skins as they are wilted and not tasty anymore.
- You should also select eggplants with fresh stems attached to the fruit as they are young and of good quality.
- Additionally, you can choose ripe eggplants by gently pressing the body; if it leaves a mark, it is a good eggplant, while if the body is a bit hard and the skin has a light pink color, it is overripe and not tasty anymore.
How to choose fresh and delicious ground pork
- When buying ground pork, you need to check the color of the meat to select quality pork, which should be bright, light pink or light red, avoiding parts with pale or dark colors.
- Additionally, you should choose meat that has a characteristic smell, not unpleasant, and avoid meat with strange, fishy, or spoiled odors.
- Moreover, you should select pieces of meat that are still elastic, and not buy meat that is too hard or mushy. Absolutely do not buy meat that has a slimy discharge as it indicates spoiled, low-quality meat.

Next, you soak the thinly sliced eggplant in clean water with a bit of salt to keep it clean and prevent discoloration.
Then, you mix the frying batter with a ratio of 1 small bowl of frying flour and a bit of water, mixing until the mixture is thick and smooth.

Marinate the pork
Put the ground pork in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning, a pinch of pepper, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and a little minced shallot. Then, use a spoon to mix well so that the meat absorbs the spices.
