Nanchang specialty minced pork and eggplant
I met many fellow Nanchang villagers on the Internet and talked about Nanchang's minced pork and eggplant. It is indeed a classic dish that is delicious and goes with rice. If you go to a restaurant for a simple meal, the chance of this dish being ordered is very high. Because it is a vegetarian dish, but it is more delicious than meat! The price is lower than meat dishes, so people can't help but love it!

    The rice sprout version is a version with more soy sauce. Nowadays, many restaurants make this dish without soy sauce or use less soy sauce, but the traditional version still has a strong sauce flavor. Pay special attention to the fact that the eggplant must be fried thoroughly and soft. After pouring the soup, let the eggplant soak in the soup, and dip it in the soup when eating. How about it? Isn't it tempting?
