Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and full of flavor in one bite - Fish-flavored Tomato Box

Overview

In this hot weather, people are somewhat lazy. Xi'an has been under high temperature warning for several days, and the direct scorching weather outside has made people shy away. I haven't been to the vegetable market for several days. There was not much left in the refrigerator. I only found an eggplant, a few green and red peppers, and some frozen meat. Making eggplant boxes suddenly flashed into my mind, and as soon as I thought about it, my mouth started to water, and I felt like I was worthless. I have a natural fascination with stuffed things, and that fascination is somewhat irresistible. The eggplant box is fried and then covered with some fish-flavored sauce. The texture is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The taste is rich and full, which is irresistible.
