So delicious, and not too difficult to make. Definitely get the long eggplants if you can find them, they really are different than the big round ones. And serve them with rice or noodles, you'll want to soak up every last bit of the sauce!

Elaine, just made recipe. I discover it doesn't say when to add the eggplant! Do you add the eggplant before the bowl sauce, or add the bowl sauce and then the eggplant? I would have liked the eggplant a little softer - any tips? Cut them smaller or steam before frying?

Hi Elaine,
Looks like a great recipe - I love this dish in restaurants and can't wait to make it. One question - in step 4 you add the chopped peppers in 2 different steps. Do you divide them in half? If not, which one is correct? Add with the doubanjiang or with the garlic?

This can work. Although a little bit different. It is a sauce from Hunan cuisine.

Can these pickled peppers be used for the recipe?

Or what kind do you suggest? I’m struggling to find a good brand and will otherwise have to use doubanjiang

Similar. This one is from Hunan cuisine, but surely can be used for this recipe.

are these the pickled chiles used in this recipe?

I love Mrs Chiang’s recipe from her Szechwan cookbook -Eggplant in the Style of Fish. I will give your version a try!! Thx.
