This is a revised version of Fuchsia Dunlop's classic from her memoir, "Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper". After sifting through several recipes and testing out the ingredients, I changed the order of some, the amount of others, and eliminated a few. The level of salt is important to control. Make sure to rinse the eggplant well before cooking. Some recipes, including Fuchsia's, call for 3 tbsp of doubanjiang. I found that 2 works well for me. No soy sauce or vegetable/chicken stock is needed, in my opinion. The doubanjiang takes care of that, as well as the residual salt in the eggplant. I switched the garlic/ginger before the doubanjiang to cook them well before merging with any other ingredients. Also, I add the potato starch slurry before the eggplant to be able to focus on the thickness of the sauce, which was hard for me to gauge through the eggplant. Make sure to move the wok off heat as needed to avoid burning any ingredients. Maybe I should call this Waiguo ren Eggplant?
