Sweet and sour eggplant box with sauce

Overview

This kind of weather is too hot, which greatly reduces the appetite. I usually want to eat some sweet and sour dishes, such as sweet and sour dishes. This is my first time to make this eggplant box. I usually don’t like to make deep-fried dishes, which seems to consume a lot of oil. But I make it once in a while and it tastes quite enjoyable, especially the sweet and sour sauce used to top it. It tastes not so greasy and is sweet and sour.
