The recipe specifically calls for round eggplants cut into thick “axe slices,” ensuring they hold up to frying and develop a perfectly golden, apricot-colored crust. After the initial fry, the dish builds an incredible depth of flavor by slowly frying star anise to a dark coffee color, stirring in sweet bean sauce and soy sauce, and finishing the glossy plate with a drizzle of homemade Sichuan peppercorn oil.</p>2026-03-31https://macworks.dev/docs/archives/cooking-videos/cooking-videos-2026-03-31/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://macworks.dev/docs/archives/cooking-videos/cooking-videos-2026-03-31/<h1 id="cooking-videos--2026-03-31">Cooking Videos — 2026-03-31<a class="anchor" href="#cooking-videos--2026-03-31">#</a></h1> <h2 id="watch-first">Watch First<a class="anchor" href="#watch-first">#</a></h2> <p>If you only have time for one video today, you absolutely must watch the state banquet master from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osRx9baGP3U">老饭骨</a> break down the ultimate meat pie.
