Chinese Chisanchi

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Chinese chisanchi? I use frozen eggplant cubes, so I take out the required portion, put it in a container and defrost it at room temperature. If you use fresh eggplant, first wash it, cut it into small cubes, and sprinkle salt on top. Leave them like this for 20-30 minutes. This is done so that they do not become bitter. After half an hour, rinse the cubes under cold water and dry them so that there is no excess liquid.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the tubers using a potato peeler, chop the potatoes into bars with a knife or on a slicer (this will be more beautiful and the bars will be the same). Rinse it to remove excess starch and dry it. Place the potatoes in a frying pan, pour in a little oil and fry the potatoes so that they are only half cooked, that is, fry them at almost maximum heat. Since everyone’s stoves work differently, the fire should be adjusted if necessary.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds. Cut it into oblong pieces. Place the potatoes from the frying pan into a deep container, place the chopped bell peppers in the same frying pan, and fry them over maximum heat for literally 2-3 minutes just like the potatoes. Then transfer it to the container with the potatoes.

4. STEP 4

   

   If necessary, add a little more sesame oil and add the eggplant pieces to the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then add sugar to the frying pan with the eggplants and fry for another 1 minute.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the half-cooked peppers and potatoes back into the pan, add the required amount of soy sauce, and continue cooking the dish for another 4 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a small container, mix starch with water and add to vegetables. Also at this step, add the chopped garlic clove and mix the ingredients well. Simmer the vegetables for another 5 minutes.
