Method and Steps for Cooking Di San Xian
Prepare the ingredients. Cut the potato, eggplant, and green pepper into chunks. Slice the scallions, ginger, and garlic.
Coat the eggplant chunks with cornstarch evenly, then deep fry them in oil until they change color. Remove and set aside.
Fry the potato chunks for 3-5 minutes. Frying them a bit longer enhances the taste
Fry the green pepper for 20 seconds, then remove from the oil. Fry them for a shorter time
Once all the ingredients are fried, set them aside
In a bowl, mix an appropriate amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white sugar, along with a small amount of light soy sauce and chicken powder. Add half a bowl of water and mix well. (I secretly added a bit of pepper |ω・)).
Add a small amount of oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced scallions, ginger, garlic, and star anise, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then, pour in the sauce mixture and add the fried potato, eggplant, and green pepper, stirring everything together.
Finally, pour in the cornstarch water to thicken the sauce. Serve and enjoy!
