Golden rice bowl suggestion
1. First choose purple eggplant. When selecting, you can weigh it with your hand, generally fresh eggplant weighs less, the skin is thin and has a glossy appearance;
2. Before grinding the minced meat, you must go to the market to choose that kind of meat with a good fat and lean ratio, so it tastes comfortable to eat, unlike fatty meat so greasy, also more flavorful than lean meat;
3. When cutting the eggplant, you must pay attention to the thickness of the cut, so that it can ensure uniform heating when frying;
4. When frying eggplant box, if the oil is not enough, remember when you push the eggplant box two sides fried to a golden brown, use a vertical position, push the minced meat to fry a small moment, so that the minced meat will be cooked through, will not fall out when eating later;
5. If you eat in a restaurant, the chef will generally use a double frying method, that is, the first frying uses slow fire to set the shape and a little golden, then take it out, the second time uses high temperature to quickly fry the eggplant box to golden, this way, it can ensure that the minced meat inside is cooked through, and it is easier to make crispy and tender effect, you can try it. To save time and oil, I only fried it once;
