齐鲁网·闪电新闻8月7日讯 “立夏栽茄子，立秋吃茄子。”茄子成熟，带着秋的气息登上餐桌。体会万千风味，一定要尝上一道经典鲁菜——风味茄子。

Plant the eggplant at the start of summer, and harvest it at the beginning of autumn.

As the eggplant ripens, it brings the essence of autumn to the table. To fully savor the season's bounty, one must indulge in a classic Shandong dish – Flavorful Eggplant. Its rich flavors are a delicious way to celebrate autumn.

茄子洗净，切条去芯，

Wash and slice the eggplant, removing the core. 

切成适口的小块。

Cut into bite-sized pieces. 

茄丁清水浸泡3分钟，控出水分，裹上一层淀粉。

Soak the eggplant cubes in water for 3 minutes, then strain and coat them with a layer of cornstarch.

起锅烧油，炸制表面变色。

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the eggplant until the surface turns golden brown. 

再进行复炸至茄子外表酥脆。

Deep-fry them again until they are crispy on the outside while maintaining a tender interior.

再起锅，加入花椒、麻椒、干辣椒段、蒜末，炒香。再加入白糖、米醋、味极鲜熬制成汁。

In another pan, add peppercorns, numb pepper, dried chili segments, and minced garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, then add sugar, rice vinegar, and a splash of light soy sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

放入茄块和切好的青红椒、香菜。

Add the crispy eggplant pieces, sliced green and red peppers, and chopped coriander to the sauce. 

翻炒片刻，撒上白芝麻。

Stir-fry briefly until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

外酥里嫩的口感，酸甜交织的味道，让味蕾与大自然同频共振，共赴一场关于收获与温润的美食盛宴。

Combined with the sweet and sour flavors of the sauce, the crispy outside and the tender inside of the eggplant will delight your taste buds. It's a dish that captures the essence of the harvest, bringing warmth and satisfaction to every bite.
