It’s difficult to cook for one. Sometimes, I feel that buying ready-made food is better than me preparing food for myself. Because I then have to eat the same dish over and over the rest of the week. In fact, I think I can only post a few recipes per month as I tend to finish one dish in 1-2 weeks. For today, I’m sharing the recipe for Chinese Eggplants with Minced Pork.
This is yet another simple dish to cook and it’s also yummy! However, this recipe is not spicy at all! So if you want it spicy, you can just add chilies into the recipe and then you’re good!
