Culinary Tips
Each chef adds his own signature flavor to the dish. For example, garlic can be added in different ways. One cook rubs it on a grater, the other finely cuts it. Even the taste of the dish depends on the slices. No wonder in chisanchi vegetables are cut into large pieces. Then a richer taste is obtained.
Before frying the eggplants, salt them a little and wait for the bitterness to come out. Do not forget that vegetables must first be peeled. Although some chefs believe that the bitterness in eggplant gives piquancy to the dish.
Try not to salt the chisani. Try it first. After all, soy sauce is already quite salty.
Many housewives learned to improvise. If the household doesn't really like stewed vegetables, you can add fried meat. It can be pork or beef, chicken is not suitable. Only in this case the meat is fried separately, and then added to the vegetables.
Starch can be replaced with flour. Although cooks do not recognize such an experiment. It is believed that it is starch that emphasizes the lightness and tenderness of the sauce, and the dish is obtained exclusively in the Chinese style.
