## Instructions
### Making the Meatballs
- Peel the bottle gourd and grate it into fine shreds using a grater.
- Squeeze out the moisture from the grated gourd by hand. *Squeeze as dry as possible*; otherwise, the meatballs will not hold their shape.
- Add 80g chickpea flour, 3g salt, 3g red chili powder, and 3g coriander powder to the squeezed gourd shreds.
- Mix thoroughly by hand until well combined, kneading into a dough-like consistency that does not stick to the hands.
- Roll the mixture into small balls with a diameter of about 3cm and set aside.
- Pour 500ml of cooking oil into a deep pot and heat over medium heat to approximately 170°C (test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should float quickly and bubble).
- Fry the meatballs in batches for **4-5 minutes** until *golden brown and crispy on the surface*.
- Remove the fried meatballs and blot excess oil with kitchen paper. Set aside.
### Making the Sauce
- Pour 30ml of cooking oil into a wok and heat over medium heat for 10 seconds.
- Add the chopped onions and stir-fry until *the onions turn golden brown* (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the grated ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 1 minute until *aromatic*.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry until *the tomatoes are completely soft and release their oil* (about 5 minutes).
- Add 3g of turmeric powder, 5g of red chili powder, 5g of coriander powder, 3g of cumin powder, and 5g of salt.
- Stir-fry for 2 minutes to allow the spices to fully blend with the tomatoes.
- Add 200ml of water, stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to **simmer for 5 minutes**.
- Gently place the fried meatballs into the sauce and **simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes** to allow the meatballs to absorb the sauce.
- Sprinkle with 3g of garam masala and chopped green chilies.
- Turn off the heat, garnish with cilantro leaves, and serve.
## Additional Notes
- Squeezing out the water from the bottle gourd is a critical step; too much moisture will cause the meatballs to fall apart and lose their shape.
- Avoid simmering the meatballs in the sauce for too long, or they will become too soft and lose their texture.
- This dish is typically served in India with Naan or steamed rice (Chawal).
- The word "Kofte" originates from Persian/Arabic, meaning "crushed" or "ground," and is widely used in South Asia and the Middle East.

# How to Make Di San Xian
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Eggplant
- Potato
- Green Chili Pepper
- Scallion (Green Onion)
- Ginger
- Garlic
- Doubanjiang (Broad Bean Paste)
- Light Soy Sauce
- Sugar
- Cornstarch
## Quantities
Note: This recipe yields enough for 2-4 people.
- Eggplant: 200g
- Potato: 150g
- Green Chili Peppers: 3-4 pieces
- Cornstarch: 8g
Using the above quantities, calculate the proportion of raw materials to be used.
## Instructions
### Preparing Ingredients
- Wash the potatoes, eggplants, and green chili peppers.
- Peel the potatoes.
- Cut both the eggplants and potatoes into irregular small chunks of approximately 15g.
- Tear the green chili peppers by hand along their natural lines into pieces that are about 25% larger than the potato and eggplant chunks.
- Remove as much surface moisture from the green chili peppers as possible to prevent splattering during frying. Consider using paper towels or air-drying them for half an hour.
- Cut the scallions into 0.5cm segments, taking a total of 5g. Mince the garlic to obtain 15g of garlic paste, dividing it into two equal portions of 7.5g each. Mince the ginger to obtain 5g.
- Take an empty bowl and add 10ml of light soy sauce, 10g of sugar, and 8g of cornstarch. Add 80ml of water and stir thoroughly to create a sauce mixture. Set aside.
### Initial Frying
- Heat a wok and add 150ml of oil.
- Add the potatoes and fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and easily pierced with chopsticks.
- Remove the potatoes and leave the oil in the wok.
- Add the eggplant and fry for about 2-3 minutes until about 70% cooked. It is ready when the eggplant softens, the edges turn slightly browned, and excess oil is released.
- Remove the eggplant and leave the oil in the wok. (Note: There may be no oil left.)
- If there is no visible oil left in the wok, consider adding 15ml of fresh oil.
- Add the green chili pepper chunks and fry for about 15 seconds until the edges develop a blistered "tiger skin" texture. Immediately remove them and discard the oil from the wok.
### Final Stir-fry
- Reheat the wok and add 15ml of fresh oil.
- Add 5g of scallions, 5g of ginger, and 7.5g of garlic. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant.
- Add 15ml of Doubanjiang. Reduce heat to low and stir-fry until red oil and the aroma of the paste are released.
- Pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Immediately increase heat to high and stir vigorously to prevent sticking and burning. After about 10 seconds, the sauce will begin to bubble and thicken.
- Immediately add all the previously fried potatoes, eggplants, and green chili peppers.
- Stir-fry for 20 seconds to ensure the thick sauce coats the ingredients evenly.
- Turn off the heat, sprinkle in the remaining 7.5g of garlic, and toss to combine evenly. Serve on a plate.
## Additional Notes
* It is reasonable for the sugar quantity to exceed the cornstarch quantity. The cornstarch here does not provide flavor; it acts solely as a physical thickening agent.
* After frying, the volume of the eggplant will reduce by about four times. You may notice that a large amount of eggplant goes into the wok but a small amount comes out. This is normal.
* When the green chili peppers hit the hot oil, a significant amount of moisture may be released instantly, causing oil to splatter. Always use a pot lid as a shield to protect yourself when adding them to the wok.

- Once both sides are fried, remove the tofu and set aside on a clean plate.
- Pour 10-15 ml of oil into a wok, add the green onion and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the green bell pepper, carrot, ham sausage, and black fungus.
- Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt, chicken bouillon powder, white sugar, and ketchup.
- Stir-fry gently until the colors are evenly distributed.
## Additional Notes
- Do not let the fried tofu sit for too long; prepare the other ingredients in advance.

# How to Make Stir-Fried Eggplant
Home-style stir-fried eggplant is simple and easy to learn, with straightforward ingredients. Some items are optional, but star anise is highly recommended.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Eggplant
- Star anise (optional)
- Dried small shrimp (optional)
- Scallions (optional)
- Ground meat (optional)
- Soy sauce
- Sugar (optional)
- Vinegar (optional)
- Rapeseed oil or peanut oil
## Calculations
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you want to make. One serving is sufficient for 1-2 people.
Total Amounts:
- Number of eggplants = Servings * 1.8
- Star anise = Servings * 1
- Dried small shrimp = Servings * Half a handful (held by an average man's hand)
- Scallions = Servings * 2
- Ground meat = Servings * 50 g
- Soy sauce = Servings * 40 ml
- Sugar = Servings * 5 g
- Vinegar = Servings * 10 ml
> Note: The quantities for oil and soy sauce are also indicated during the cooking process. You can cross-reference these to determine the exact amounts to add.
## Instructions
- Wash the eggplant and cut it in half lengthwise. Cut each half into diamond-shaped chunks. Place the cut eggplant in a bowl and set aside.
- Wash the scallions, chop them into green onion pieces, and set them aside on the cutting board.
- Slice the star anise and set it aside on the cutting board.
- If using ground meat, stir-fry it in 10 ml of oil (use 15 ml if using lean meat only) over medium heat until it changes color (about 1 minute), then remove and set aside.
- Heat the wok until all moisture has evaporated.
- Pour in cooking oil, enough to cover the bottom of the wok by twice its depth (you can add more oil, but do not add less).
- When the oil reaches about 60% heat, add the optional ingredients: star anise, dried small shrimp, and scallions.
- If you are not using star anise or other optional ingredients, heat the oil to about 90% heat.
- When the oil reaches 90% heat, pour the eggplant from the bowl into the wok and stir-fry using a spatula.
- After stir-frying for about 40 seconds, hold the spatula suspended and parallel to the wok, and pour the soy sauce onto the spatula. Use about 2.5 spatulas per person (you can add less soy sauce, but do not add more, as it will become too salty).
- When the eggplant becomes semi-soft (about 1 minute later), add back the pre-cooked ground meat and stir-fry quickly to mix evenly.
- If you plan to add sugar and vinegar, add them now.
- Continue stir-frying.
- Once all the eggplant in the wok has changed color and become soft, remove it from the wok.
## Additional Content
- Due to the soy sauce, no additional salt is needed. Taste before serving; if its not salty enough, add a small amount of salt, and increase the soy sauce quantity next time.
- If dried shrimp is added, reduce the amount of soy sauce accordingly.
- When stir-frying this dish, maintain high heat throughout.
- Important! Do not add water, or it will become boiled eggplant with poor texture. Use plenty of oil; do not use less.
- If your home stove reaches 70% oil temperature and the temperature no longer rises significantly, proceed to the next step directly. There is no need to force it to reach 90% oil temperature.
- Add sugar and vinegar at the final stage, stir-fry for 20 seconds, and then remove from heat. Avoid adding vinegar too early, or the acidity will evaporate.

- Preheat the oven to 200°C (with fan on high) for 2 minutes.
- Place the eggplant in the middle or upper rack of the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes. It is ready when the surface is wrinkled and can be pressed down 0.3-0.5 cm deep.
- Remove the eggplant and use a knife to make a vertical slit down the center, leaving 1-1.5 cm at the top and bottom uncut.
- Insert a small knife or fork into the slit and cut through the interior vertically.
- Gently open the slit and pour the prepared sauce over the eggplant.
- Return the eggplant to the oven and roast at 200°C for 4-7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and turn off the power.
## Additional Notes
The final result is similar to roasted eggplant from a street BBQ stall; it smells amazing!
**Precautions:**
If the eggplant surface is wet, not fully coated with oil, or not pierced with a fork, it may **burst during roasting**.
**Suggested Improvements:**
When making the initial cut, you can slice the eggplant in half lengthwise first, then score the interior before applying the sauce.

# How to Make Scalded Choy Sum
<!-- The title must be `Dish Name` + `How to Make`. It should match the file name. -->
![Scalded Choy Sum](./白灼菜心.jpg)
> No photo was taken; the image above is from the internet, but the result is pretty much the same.
Scalded Choy Sum is a classic Cantonese dish. "Bai Zhuo" (scalding) is a Cantonese cooking technique where raw food is cooked by blanching it in boiling water or broth. This method preserves the original freshness and is commonly used in Cantonese cuisine for shrimp and vegetables.
In short, it is an excellent way to lose weight or **quickly prepare leafy greens**.
Estimated cooking difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Fresh Choy Sum
- Light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt
- Garlic, bird's eye chili
- Cooking oil
## Measurements
The quantities below are sufficient for two people. If eating for one, simply pair it with rice.
- Fresh Choy Sum: 250g
- Cooking oil: 10g
- Prepare a soul sauce:
- Light soy sauce: 5g
- Oyster sauce: 5g
- Salt, sugar: 5g
- Garlic: 4-5 cloves, Bird's eye chili: 1-2 pieces
## Instructions
1. Wash the Choy Sum and **remove the hard or tough parts of the root**. You can also use a knife to **scrape the stem part of the Choy Sum**, removing the tough outer layer to make the inside more tender. However, pay attention to the blanching time for the stem; if blanched too long, it will lose its crispness.
2. Mince the garlic. If you have onion on hand, add some onion as well.
3. Prepare the soul sauce: 5g light soy sauce, 5g oyster sauce, add 3g sugar and 100g water (about half a bowl) to make a bowl of sauce.
> If you add starch, the sauce will cling to the Choy Sum better when boiled, resulting in a stronger flavor. This might not be to the liking of Cantonese people.
4. Boil 500ml of water with 5g salt and 10g cooking oil.
5. Blanch the Choy Sum stems in the boiling water for 1 minute until the stems turn dark green. Then blanch the entire Choy Sum for another 1 minute, remove, and arrange it on a plate.
6. In a separate small pot, pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a boil over low heat. Add half of the minced garlic, a little ginger shreds, and chopped bird's eye chili. During preparation, some chopped onion and garlic were added. First, heat oil in the pot, when it reaches 50% heat, add the minced garlic and onion, stir-fry briefly until fragrant, then add the sauce and bird's eye chili and bring to a boil.
7. Let the sauce reduce slightly. After boiling, wait for about ten seconds, then pour it directly over the Choy Sum. Don't use too much sauce, but don't skimp on the garlic; it really makes a difference.
## Additional Notes
- Make sure to choose very fresh Choy Sum! Very fresh!
- Add oil and salt to the boiling water in the pot.

# How to Make Garlic Hollow Stem Vegetables
Background:
I once tried garlic hollow stem vegetables at a Sichuan restaurant near my school, and I have loved them ever since.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
* Hollow stem vegetables (Morning Glory)
* Minced garlic
* Salt
* Light soy sauce
* Chopsticks
* Spatula
## Quantities Per Serving
* Fresh hollow stem vegetables: 250 g
* Half a garlic clove, minced
* Cooking oil: 45 ml
* Salt: 2 g
* White sugar: 3 g
* Light soy sauce: 8 ml
## Instructions
* Wash the hollow stem vegetables thoroughly, remove any rotten leaves or tough stems, and cut them into 2 or 3 uniform segments (to prevent them from being too long and difficult to stir-fry).
* Pour a small amount of oil into the wok and heat it until it just starts to smoke. Tilt the wok to coat the bottom evenly with the hot oil, then pour in the remaining oil ([Hot Wok, Cold Oil Method](https://cook.aiursoft.com/tips/learn/%E5%AD%A6%E4%B9%A0%E7%82%92%E4%B8%8E%E7%85%8E/?h=%E7%83%AD%E9%94%85#_5)).
* Add the minced garlic and stir-fry over low heat for 10 to 15 seconds until fragrant.
* Add the hollow stem vegetables as quickly and evenly as possible. **Turn the heat to high**. Hold the spatula in your left hand and chopsticks in your right hand, continuously tossing the vegetables until they soften and turn bright green.
* Remove the chopsticks and use only the spatula to stir-fry the softened vegetables rapidly for 1520 seconds to ensure even heating. Add 2 g of salt, 3 g of white sugar, and 8 ml of light soy sauce.
* Continue stir-frying over high heat for 10 seconds, then serve immediately.
![Example of the finished dish](./1.JPG)
## Additional Tips
* Try to select fresh and tender hollow stem vegetables; otherwise, the texture may become tough after stir-frying.
* The amount of hollow stem vegetables you add depends on the size of your wok. It is recommended not to exceed the capacity of one wok. If there is too much, some vegetables may fall out onto the stove during the initial tossing and subsequent stir-frying.
* When stir-frying hollow stem vegetables, you must **use high heat**. This allows the vegetables to soften quickly while maintaining a crisp and tender texture. High heat also helps bring out the aroma of the soy sauce.

- 1 long eggplant that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom (do not use Zhejiang eggplants or round eggplants)
- 1 portion of unagi sauce
- 20 ml honey
- 15 ml white sugar
- 40 ml light soy sauce
- 10 ml dark soy sauce
- 20 ml cooking wine
- 100 ml water
## Instructions
- Peel the eggplant and cut it horizontally into two sections.
- Steam for 5 minutes.
- Cut lengthwise without cutting all the way through, making 2~3 cuts on each side so it can be laid flat.
- Pan-fry until both sides are golden brown.
- Pour unagi sauce over the eggplant until it covers half the height of the eggplant.
- Fry until the back is colored, then flip.
- Simultaneously reduce the sauce. If the sauce does not reduce, add a cornstarch slurry (ratio of cornstarch to water between 1:4 and 1:10, depending on the reduction progress).
- Pour the remaining unagi sauce over the eggplant.
- Serve. The eggplant with unagi sauce is ready.
## Additional Notes
- This unagi-style dish is actually quite Chinese; the Japanese version is typically grilled.
- The soul of the dish lies in the unagi sauce? You can also buy pre-made unagi sauce.
- If you find it too rich, sprinkle some chopped scallions (2~5 mm) on the plate after serving. This also adds visual interest.
- For stir-fried eggplant dishes (such as Yuxiang eggplant or Jiangbao eggplant), Zhejiang eggplants are highly recommended. Their slender shape makes them perfect for rolling knife cuts, and their skin is tender, eliminating the need for peeling. Their flavor is moderate.

# How to Make Steamed Egg Custard
![Steamed Egg Custard Finished Product](./鸡蛋羹.jpg)
Steamed egg custard, also known as steamed egg, requires no complex ingredients. It is a simple, quick, and easy dish suitable for breakfast or any main meal, taking about 15 minutes to prepare.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Eggs
- Table salt
- Sesame oil
- Light soy sauce / Weijixian soy sauce
- White vinegar (optional)
- Tengjiao oil (optional)
## Measurements
For 1 serving:
- 2 eggs
- 3g table salt
- 2-4ml sesame oil (or sesame oil)
- 8ml light soy sauce / Weijixian soy sauce
- 2ml white vinegar (or cooking wine) (optional)
## Instructions
- Crack two eggs into a bowl and beat them well.
- Add 3g of table salt.
- Salt plays a crucial role in enhancing the base flavor and helping the custard set.
- Add 2ml of white vinegar to remove the fishy smell of the eggs (optional).
- Rice vinegar works as well, but its color may slightly darken the eggs.
- You can also add cooking wine, which also removes the fishy smell without the sourness of vinegar.
- Add purified water at 70°C to the bowl, using 1 to 1.5 times the volume of the eggs, and stir well.
- Using 1x water results in a firmer texture, while 1.5x water yields a tenderer custard.
- Strain the egg mixture to remove any foam (optional, but skipping this may result in bubbles that make the custard look less appealing).
- Add 50ml of water to any pot. Once the water boils, place the bowl containing the egg mixture into the pot.
- Cover the steaming bowl with a lid, an inverted iron dish with a groove, or plastic wrap to prevent water vapor from entering. This avoids the custard developing a honeycomb texture.
- Steaming method (choose one):
1. Steam over **medium heat** for **10 minutes**, then turn off the heat and let it sit for another **5 minutes**.
2. Steam over **high heat** for **5 minutes**. Keep the water in the pot boiling at all times; otherwise, extend the time. Open the lid every **2 minutes** to release steam. Opening it too late may cause a honeycomb texture; opening it too early or too frequently will require longer steaming time.
- How to tell if it's done?
- Shake the bowl. If the custard is no longer liquid and has a firm, jelly-like texture, it is ready.
- Serving
- Drizzle with sesame oil and light soy sauce before enjoying.
- You can substitute sesame oil with Tengjiao oil to add a numbing and refreshing sensation.
## Additional Notes
The above describes the basic method for steamed egg custard. You can derive variations by adding ingredients such as ham sausage, minced meat, or dried shrimp to enrich the flavor and texture.
