Fish Fragrant Eggplant With Minced Pork Food

CRISPY EGGPLANT WITH FISH FRAGRANT SAUCE

Crispy Eggplant With Fish Fragrant Sauce image

Fish fragrant sauce doesn't have any fish-the sweet, sour, & spicy elements in the sauce are used in Sichuan fish dishes, giving the eggplant recipe its name.

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 26

Ingredients

450 g (1 lb) caster (superfine) sugar
100 g (3½ oz) liquid glucose
100 ml (3½ fl oz) light soy sauce
100 ml (3½ fl oz) Chinese red vinegar
70 g (2½ oz) soy paste
2½ tablespoons Chinkiang black vinegar
2 tablespoons chile bean paste
2 tablespoons Lao Gan Ma Chili Oil (with peanuts)
1 tablespoon very finely chopped ginger
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
3 bird's eye chiles, very finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground Sichuan pepper
½ teaspoon chile flakes
50 g (1¾ oz or 1⁄3 cup) sesame seeds
15 g (½ oz) xanthan gum
60 g (2¼ oz) rice flour
60 g (2¼ oz) tapioca flour
1 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
6 Japanese eggplants, peeled, cut into batons about 5 x 1.5 cm (2 x 5⁄8 inch)
Sprigs from ½ bunch cilantro, finely chopped
2 small long red chiles, thinly sliced into rounds
2 spring onions (scallions), finely chopped
3 tablespoons fried shallots
1 small handful of baby cilantro leaves and sesame seeds, to garnish

Steps:

Put the sugar and liquid glucose in a large saucepan and add 250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) water. Whisk over a medium heat to dissolve the sugar, then increase the heat to high, stirring until the mixture starts to boil. Keep boiling until the temperature reaches 120°C (235°F).
Add the remaining sauce ingredients, stir to combine, and leave it to simmer for 1 hour. At the end, you should have a glazy caramel-like consistency, which coats the back of a spoon. This sauce can be stored in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Put the xanthan gum and 550 ml (19 fl oz) water into a bowl. Whizz with a hand-held blender until it has a thick, viscous consistency. Blend in the rice and tapioca flours, followed by the salt. The result should be a fairly goopy, but smooth batter.
Fill a large wok or deep-fryer one-third full with oil and heat to 180°C (350°F) or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil turns golden in 15 seconds. Dip the pieces of eggplant into the batter then gently lower them into the oil one by one. Fry in batches for about 5 minutes per batch. Don't fiddle around with the eggplant too much in the first 2-3 minutes to allow the batter to firm properly. After about 3 minutes the exterior will harden and you can use a pair of tongs to separate any pieces that have stuck together in the oil. Continue cooking until the 5-minute mark. Drain on paper towels.
Put the eggplant in a bowl and pour about 100 ml (3½ fl oz) of the fish fragrant sauce on top. Using a large spoon, give everything a stir to make sure each piece of eggplant is evenly coated. Add the cilantro sprigs and chiles and mix through. Divide between four to six bowls and top with the spring onions and fried shallots. Sprinkle with baby cilantro leaves and sesame seeds.

Mince the garlic and ginger and chop the fresh red chilies and spring onion. Separate the whites and green parts of the spring onion as they will be added to the wok at different times. Slice the eggplant into 3-inch strips. Add them to a bowl of water and soak for 15-20 minutes. Then drain into colander or a fine mesh strainer and set aside. (Note: Soaking the eggplant strips in water makes them less prone to absorbing oil like sponges. It enables us to get away with pan-frying instead of deep frying them first.)
Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a large wok over high heat. Once hot, turn the heat down to medium-high and add the eggplant strips. Cook for 10-12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until slightly browned and tender. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Return the wok back to the stovetop.
