Chinese eggplants with pork is a popular dish in Chinese kitchen.A small amount of minced pork can greatly improve the taste of eggplants, which can rich the layers of a humble eggplant stir-fry. If you want the eggplants to absorb less oil, you can spread some cornstarch to coat the eggplants before cooking, which is more healthy. For vegan readers, you can simply skip minced pork and try this eggplants with garlic sauce. I think it easy. You can finish it in 20 minutes including 10 minutes of preparation and 10 minutes of cooking. When it's done, you can mix it with your favorite staples. I usually eat it with noodles, which is tasty. I am satisfied with the dish I cooked today.

how I incorporated the weekly technique

When I make this dish, I need to cut the eggplants, pork, ginger, and garlic. And I learned how to use knives to cut different shapes and sizes of food in class. Take eggplants for example, I put the eggplants on the cutting board, hold them in the left hand, and cut vertically in the right hand, while the left hand is back with the right hand. The eggplants are then cut into even segments.
