1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare two chicken drumsticks, cut them up and wash them clean.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Cut the eggplant into chunks and set aside.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Soak the glass noodles in hot water until needed (soaked glass noodles cook faster).

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Heat the oil, then add dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to release their aroma (add more if you prefer a stronger flavor).

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Add chopped green onions and ginger (you can remove the Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies before adding them, so you won't easily taste the Sichuan peppercorns when eating).

   

6. 06

   Step 6

   Blanch the chicken pieces in hot water with cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, (then put them in the pan to stir-fry).

   

7. 07

   Step 7

   Add the seasonings and then add hot water and simmer for ten minutes (this helps the flavors penetrate).

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   After boiling for about ten minutes, add the eggplant (you can also add potatoes), and continue boiling for another five minutes.

   

9. 09
