The addition of stir-fried pork filling brings a satisfying umami richness. Quick and easy to prepare, this dish delivers restaurant-quality taste at home. The final drizzle of sesame oil enhances the aroma, making it an irresistible meal. Perfect served over rice, this fish-flavored eggplant is a must-try for lovers of bold, savory flavors!
