How to make stir-fried eel with chives, a common dish in northern Jiangsu
Step 1
I bought the eel shreds directly from Dingdong (a food delivery app). If you want fresh eel, you can go to the market and have them cleaned and shredded.
Step 2
Wash and chop the chives
Step 3
Add a little ginger, garlic, and red chili to the oil.
Step 4
Add the eel shreds, stir-fry briefly, then add a suitable amount of cooking wine.
Step 5
Add one tablespoon of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of oyster sauce, a pinch of dark soy sauce for color, and some water. Simmer for a while until the eel shreds are cooked through.
Step 6
Add the chives and stir-fry evenly. Add a little salt, a pinch of chicken bouillon, and finally a touch of sugar – this is the key to enhancing the flavor.
