Step-by-step method
Step 1
Wash the green eggplant, green chili pepper, tomato, onion, and scallion.
Step 2
Cut the scallion into 5 mm wide rings, peel and crush the garlic, cut the tomato into 6 cm cubes, and cut the green chili pepper and onion into 5 g pieces.
Step 3
Cut the eggplant into diamond-shaped pieces (first cut into 2 cm thick slices, then cut the slices into 2 cm strips, and finally cut diagonally into chunks).
Step 4
Pour the flour into a bowl, add a small amount of water gradually, and stir until a thick batter forms.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch and 30 g of water, and stir until smooth.
Step 6
Crack the egg into the bowl, add (flour / 20) g of salt, and stir until combined.
Step 7
Pour the eggplant pieces into the batter and stir to coat each piece evenly.
Step 8
Heat the pan over high heat, add 500 ml of oil. When the oil begins to smoke slightly, reduce to low heat. Use chopsticks to place the eggplant pieces into the oil. Once all pieces are in, increase to medium heat and fry until golden brown. Remove and drain the oil.

Wait until the sauce thickens (the liquid level is about 0.2-0.3 times the height of the remaining ingredients). Remove the lid, transfer the dish to a plate, and turn off the heat.
