  • 30g glutinous rice flour
  • 60g ground pork
  • 10g chives

Seasoning

  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp salt

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, prepare all the ingredients for the dish. For the main ingredients, gather 2 fresh eggplants, 10g of onion, 10g of plump shrimp meat, 30g of glutinous rice flour for a chewy texture, 60g of ground pork for rich flavor, and 10g of fragrant chives. For the seasoning, prepare 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of salt to perfectly balance the flavor of the dumpling filling.

Step 1

Step 2

Begin by preparing the eggplant. Trim off the top and bottom ends of each eggplant with a knife. Gently massage the eggplant with your hands to soften it, making it easier to scoop out the insides. Using tongs and a spoon, carefully hollow out the eggplant flesh, separating the scooped-out portion. This method helps maintain the eggplant’s shape while allowing it to be filled.

Step 2

Step 3

Finely mince the scooped-out eggplant flesh and the onion. It’s important to mince these ingredients as finely as possible so they blend well. The sweetness of the onion and the softness of the eggplant will harmonize beautifully.

Step 4

Also, finely mince the chives and the shrimp meat. The freshness of the chives and the firm texture of the shrimp will further enhance the flavor of the dumpling filling. Ensure all ingredients are minced finely.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, the finely minced onion, chives, and shrimp meat, along with the scooped-out eggplant flesh. Add the minced garlic, pepper, and salt to season. Then, add the glutinous rice flour and mix everything thoroughly until it forms a cohesive filling. The glutinous rice flour will help bind the ingredients together.

Step 5

Step 6

Now it’s time to fill the eggplant. Lightly coat the inside and outside of the hollowed-out eggplant with glutinous rice flour. Next, use a spoon to carefully fill the eggplant cavities with the prepared dumpling mixture. Be careful not to overfill, as the dumplings might burst during steaming. Fill them moderately to maintain their shape.

Step 6

Step 7

Place the filled eggplants into a steamer basket and steam them in a pot of boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until the eggplant becomes translucent and the filling is cooked through. Steaming allows the subtle aroma of the eggplant and the flavors of the filling to meld together, creating a delicious result.

Step 8

Once steamed, let the dumplings cool slightly. After they have cooled, slice them into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving plate. For an extra burst of flavor, serve with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and chili powder, according to your preference.
