Recipe By: Tobuchan (https://cookbuzz.com/kitchen/25)
Serves 2 Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

Aubergine (medium) 1
Cornstarch as required
Minced pork 100g
Garlic 1 clove
Ginger 1 thumb
Leek 10cm
Sweet miso (Tianmenjiang) 1.5 tbsp
Chinese chilli bean sauce 1.5 tbsp
Sake 1 tbsp
Light soy sauce 1.5 tbsp
Sugar 2 tsp
Pepper a little
Chicken stock 150ml
Potato starch or cornflour in a bit of water as required
Vinegar 1 tbsp

Method

1
Peel the aubergines in stripes.

5
Add the Tianmenjiang and chilli bean sauce and fry to combine. This is very important.
6
Add the sake, soy sauce,sugar and pepper and fry.
7
Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil. Add the finely chopped leek and mix well. Add the potato starch to thicken.
8
Add the fried aubergines from Step 3 and mix well. Turn off the heat and drizzle over the vinegar. Mix and serve!

Tips & Note

●A famous Chinese chef always says that a Mapo recipe is a masterclass in frying - you need to really fry the minced pork with the miso well. If you add the miso after the stock, neither the pork of the vegetables will get any flavour, so its essential to do it the right way round.
