3. Scramble one egg, and mix it evenly, then pour it into the minced meat;

6. Wash the eggplant, cut off the two ends, cut the eggplant into segments to make eggplant box. During this process, pay attention to the space between the two eggplant segments to be shallow, not cut through, so that it can hold the minced meat. See the finished eggplant box as shown in the picture;
7. Stuff the minced meat into the eggplant box. This step is very critical, at the beginning, you can use a small amount of minced meat to seal the bottom of the eggplant box first, then continue to stuff the minced meat, and flatten the top, so that the minced meat won’t easily fall out;
8. Next, scramble another egg, and pour 15g of flour into the egg liquid, and stir evenly to make a paste.
9. Heat the pot, add a little oil first, heat over high heat, then switch to medium heat, test the oil temperature, add a little flour, and when the oil bubbles in the pot (pay attention to the red circle in the picture), the oil temperature meets the requirements, you can start frying the eggplant box;
10. Start frying the eggplant box. Stuff the eggplant box with minced meat and then dip it in the flour liquid and fry in oil. Remember to fry one at a time.

Golden rice bowl recommendation
1. First, choose purple eggplant. When selecting, use your hand to weigh it, generally the fresher eggplant weighs less and has thin skin with luster;
2. Before chopping the minced meat, you must go to the market to choose that kind of meat with fat and lean ratio, so that it tastes comfortable to eat, unlike greasy fat meat, it’s also more flavorful than lean meat;
3. When cutting eggplant, you must pay attention to the thickness of the cut to ensure that it is fried evenly;
4. When frying the eggplant box, if there is not enough oil, remember to raise the eggplant box upright, and fry the minced meat on both sides, so that the minced meat can be cooked through, and won’t fall out when eating.
5. If you eat in a restaurant, the chef will usually use a two-step method, that is, the first step, use slow fire to solidify the eggplant box and slightly golden, then take it out, the second step is to use high temperature to quickly fry the eggplant box until golden. This can ensure that the minced meat in the eggplant box is cooked through, and it’s easy to achieve a crispy and tender effect. You can try it. To save trouble and oil, I only fried it once;
