      Hi CiCi Li, here where I live I don't get Chinese eggplants. I get the larger and more rounder ones with a deep deep bluish colour. Can you please let me know the approximate weight of the eggplants that you used. Thank you!

    This recipe looks amazing! I'm definitely trying it after work. Quick question, is "Broad Bean Paste" the same as Touban Djan? Also, the recipe calls for salted chili peppers, but could I use pickled red peppers instead? Last but not least, do you think it would work with some dried Korean chili flakes and green Sichuan peppercorns for an extra kick? (finely chopped)

    • @CiCiLi
      @CiCiLi  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you for asking! The Pixian broad bean paste is Sichuan-style doubanjiang, which is a little spicy. You could also replace it with the regular doubanjiang. And yes, you could also add other types of chili peppers, pepper flakes, and Sichuan peppercorns for additional flavors. Happy cooking! ☺️
