Eggplant box is not a Northeastern dish. The earliest eggplant box appeared in Shandong, so it is also called eggplant clip. It is especially popular among Shandong families. Simply put, eggplant boxes are made by stuffing meat inside eggplant and then frying it. It looks simple, but actually it requires a lot of skills to operate, otherwise the eggplant box will become very unpalatable. So, how to make eggplant box delicious and simple? Method 1 Cut the long eggplant into several round eggplant cakes one to two fingers thick, and cut them horizontally in the middle, but keep the upper and lower slices connected and do not cut them off. Chop the pork into minced meat and mix it with chopped green onion and ginger. Add salt, MSG, etc. to make the stuffing. Put an appropriate amount of stuffing into several eggplant cakes cut in half, then coat the stuffed eggplant cakes with a little flour, then coat them with beaten eggs and fry them in a pan. Remove from the heat when it turns golden brown. The finished eggplant box can be eaten immediately, stewed or steamed. The fillings for eggplant boxes, like those for dumplings, are varied. You can adjust it according to your own preferences. Eggplant pancakes with fillings can also be directly coated in flour batter of appropriate consistency. In fact, sometimes you can turn some leftovers into treasures by putting them in eggplant boxes. If the eggplant is replaced with lotus root, it is called lotus root box.
