Many people may have made fried tomato boxes, and the method is relatively simple, but it is not easy to make delicious food. Why are tomato boxes always crisp and greasy? There is also a heavy taste, which is not good anyway, mainly for two reasons:
1, the meat stuffing is not well mixed, not as simple as adding oil and salt directly.
2, the crispy paste is not adjusted. Many people are flour+eggs+water, which tastes bad.

Fried box
Prepare eggplant, pork belly, chives, ginger, pepper, salt, soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, thirteen spices, white pepper, flour, starch, baking powder and beer.
1, meat stuffing
Prepare a piece of pork belly, you can also use front leg meat, and the meat stuffing should use fat and even pork, so that the taste will not be dry.
Wash the pork belly, scrape off the remaining pig hair, cut it into large pieces, and put it in a meat grinder to grind it into minced meat. The more delicate the better, so the taste is tender and smooth. Cut some chopped green onion and Jiang Mo, put them into the meat stuffing, then add some salt, soy sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper and sesame oil, stir clockwise for 5 minutes to make the meat stuffing sticky, and marinate for 10 minute.
Pour a bowl of clear water into the pot, add a handful of pepper particles, cook for 5 minutes on low heat, then turn off the heat and let it cool. Pour the water of pepper into the meat stuffing several times, and continue to stir with chopsticks to make the meat stuffing absorb water, so that the meat stuffing has no fishy smell and is particularly fresh and fragrant.
2. Adjust the crispy paste
Add the right amount of flour to a small bowl, and then add the same amount of starch. One more thing is needed, that is baking powder, and a spoonful is enough. Finally, pour an egg without water, pour a proper amount of beer, and stir by hand for 2 minutes to form a delicate and sticky paste. You can form a continuous straight line when grasping, and you must reach this state.

Wash the long eggplant without peeling it, cut it into blades, that is, two pieces are connected without cutting, put some meat in it, and knead it with your hands slightly to make the eggplant and meat stick together, so that it is not easy to spread. Put the tomato box on the plate for later use.
Step 4 fry
Pour the right amount of oil into the pot, and it is recommended to add more. After 60% heat, turn to medium heat, put the tomato boxes into the crispy paste and hang them one by one. Cover the surface with a thin layer of batter and fry it in hot oil.
Don't turn over when you're done. Turn it over with chopsticks after frying. After both sides are golden, you can remove and drain.
Heat the oil to 80% heat, pour it into a tomato box and fry for 30 seconds. Take out the waste oil and eat it. If you do this step more, the tomato box will be more crisp and not greasy.
