Point in check
Make sure gingko, garlic and the eggplant does not get too soft when they go through boiled hot oil for about a minute or less. Eggplant takes a little longer. After stir frying the zanthoxylum fructus seeds to create the aroma add soy sauce, lemon juice, salt and pepper and Ajinomoto to harmonize the flavor. The eggplant observes a lot of oil, therefor make sure to let it go through heated oil last. Make sure not to put the gingko through oil too long so that it will not turn soft. If you over cook the eggplant, it will turn brown. Make sure to turn over the eggplant with long cooking chopsticks. until the surface turns golden-brown.
Personal Comments
After stir frying the zanthoxylum fructus seeds to enjoy the aroma it creates, add lemon juice and soy sauce together. Put the garlic through heated oil a little longer than the gingko. The gingko goes through oil for a v brief time. The combination of the 3 ingredients were a lot better than I expected. Although the garlic was a little harder than I expected it to be. When I put the leftover from the pan into the plastic food storage container to put it in the fridge, I found out that the dish observes the taste better than the first day. I put quite a lot of lemon juice soy sauce and the zanthoxylum fructus seeds, but it was about the right amount. The dish absorbed the flavor of the ingredients.
