Hi Michael, sorry about the confusion! I just udpate the recipe to reflect the correct instructions. (There is no footnote 3)
Orignally I used a slightly method – adding whole Sichuan peppercorns to infuse the oil, then scoop them out. But now I’m using the ground peppercorns instead for a better result.
Re season the pork – sounds tasty and it’s a great idea!
Happy cooking and hope you enjoy the dish 🙂

– When do we add the dried chillies. In step 7 did you mean add chillies iso the sichuan peppercorns?
– There is no Footnote 3
– I think I am going to season the pork mince a bit with salt and pepper before frying
Am sure it will be delicious as all your recipes are…

However, points 5-9 need some editing – conflicting instructions.

This was really delicious. Did I miss the part where the peppercorns go back in the pan? I wasn’t sure, so I added it with the scallions, ginger and garlic.

OMG where has this recipe been all my life? I love chinese eggplant with spicy sauce and this recipe is absolutely by far the best I have ever made. Soaking the eggplant–perfect. Putting in the eggplant last into the sauce–perfect. The eggplant was nice and crispy on the outside and super moist on the inside. I made one change–I put sliced chicken instead of ground pork and it worked perfectly. The chinese vinegar is sweeter than regular vinegar but it gave it a great taste. Thanks for a fantastic recipe

Yes! Chicken would work great.
