• 1 medium size eggplant 
• 150g minced pork 
• 1 shallot 
• 10g ginger 
• 8g sugar 
• 5g salt

Pork Filling

2. Add salt, sugar, wine and soy sauce 
3. Stir to mix them well. Set aside. 

1. Get a bowl. Add the flour. Pour the water in. Stir till no flour lumps. Set aside
2. Cut the eggplant into clips. At about 5mm from the end make a first slice cut. do not cut to the bottom. Move in another 5mm, make the 2nd cut. Cut it off. Then you will get the first clip. Repeat. When you get to the large part of eggplant, you can cut it in half in a long way. Then slice them into multiple clips. 
3. Start to heat a pot of oil in medium heat. The oil will be roughly as deep as the thickness of the eggplant clips. The eggplant clips are just immersed in the oil.
4. Stuff the filling inside the eggplant clips.
5. Dip the stuffed eggplant clip in to the flour mix. Make sure the flour covers all surfaces of the eggplant clips. 
6. Fry it in the oil. Start to fry when the oil just heated up. 
7. Fry till they turn golden colour.
8. The eggplant clips can be served with Chinese vinegar or soy sauce or chilli sauce.

Cheese on Toast - AKA Mum’s Night Off. 奶酪吐司, 妈妈轻松的一晚

Cheese on Toast made by Siying

Ingredients: 食材

• 2 slices of your standard square-shaped supermarket brown bread (multigrain or wholemeal). / 两片全麦或杂谷方面包。 
• Large tomato, sliced /大的番茄，切片。 
• Red capsicum, a few slices / 红椒，切丝。 
• Snow peas, optional. Whole, three per slice of bread / 豌豆。不用切。大概一片面包3个豌豆 (They’re included as a way to get your greens.) 
• Regular cheddar cheese cut into thick-ish slices – 2-3mm, enough to cover bread entirely. (Avoid Kraft singles) / 一般的切达奶酪。切片。一片2-3厘米。不要用卡夫牌子的一片片的奶酪。  

Method: 做法：

1. Pre-heat grill to about 200°C / 烤箱设烤架200度，预热 
2. Toast the bread lightly in the toaster /  把面包在烤面包机先微烤一下 
3. Remove and add tomato, capsicum and snow peas in layers on the toast, any order is fine as long as the cheese is on top. Make it pretty cheesy, aim for complete coverage / 把番茄片，红椒和豌豆一层层的放在面包片上。你自己决定层次安排。但是奶酪一定要放在最上层。奶酪能放就都放点。把整个面包铺满。 
4. Place both slices on a tin foil lined tray under your grill. / 把铺好的面包片放在锡箔纸上。再放在烤盘里。把烤盘放在烤箱的烤架下。 
5. Cook until cheese bubbles and looks a little golden brown in places. / 烤到奶酪起泡，一些地方开始变棕色 
6. Remove from grill, cool for a minute or two, you can eat any cheese that’s stuck to the foil while you wait. Cut each slice in half so that you have four rectangles. / 把面包拿出来。冷却1-2分钟。你在等的时候，你可以吃流在锡箔纸上的奶酪。 
7. Eat in front of TV with family/pets. / 可以一边看电视一边和家人或宠物吃。
