Di San Xian

Di San Xian

A beloved Northeastern Chinese classic, Di San Xian combines eggplant, potato and carrot that are pan-fried until golden, then braised with garlic sprouts in a savory sauce. The vegetables stay tender inside with caramelized edges, making it an irresistible rice companion.
