So delicious, a bit time consuming but well worth the wait, I will definitely make again in the future 🙂

Really happy to have found this Chinese vegetarian recipe! Made it with regular eggplant using the salting trick and it turned out great, instant family favourite.

In reply to Lisa M. I used a Debuyer 9" Country Chef Frying Pan , which is like a flat bottom wok. It is made with carbon steel and very solidly built, works really well on my gas stove.

Hello! I’ve learned *so* much about cooking stir-fry in a NYC kitchen — infinite thanks 🙂 What kind of wok did you use for this recipe?

This turned out super delicious! I may omit the green onions until putting the potato and eggplant back in the wok

Thanks! I’ve been thinking about a dish like this for years after enjoying a similar dish in a restaurant. I had some eggplants and potatoes, googled, and landed here. I don’t like green peppers and couldn’t find jalapenos, so I used half an onion instead. It was great!

I made this to use up some Asian eggplant and potatoes. I didn’t have bell pepper but subbed a large mild jalapeno and leftover chard stems. The frying took a bit of time but overall meal was pretty good. The ratio of sauce to veggies was perfect. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! The recipe was very easy to follow and we didn’t make any changes. Will definitely be making this again and again!

In reply to Liz. Good to know. I am rewarming the leftovers in the air fryer for lunch and can hardly wait. I maybe try doing the whole thing in the air fryer the next time.

I made this last night for dinner, with white rice and Char Siu. What a meal that was!! We ordered Di San Xian at a local Chinese restaurant. It was not stir fried, but deep fried, and the egg plant was slimey and the potatoes overcooked. I had to find a recipe that would work out better and this is definitely it! The potatoes and eggplant char up nicely. The potatoes are crispy and the eggplant creamy. Cooking the bell pepper a short time, added a little extra crunch and a contrast in flavor. I’ll be making this over and over!
