Notes
- There are many ways to soften eggplant. You can roast it by sprinkling olive oil on top of eggplant slices and bake them for 20 minutes. Or deep-frying until the color turns brownish. Or steam it or boil it for 15 minute.
- Cut the salted fish into tiny pieces and deep-fry until they are crunchy. This will give a salty bomb sensation here and there. Do not add too much.
- If you can't stand spicy food, take away the chili and chili oil, substitute chili bean sauce with bean sauce.
