Once they have assumed a sufficiently golden-brownish color, transfer them in a separate bowl, while retaining the oil in the frying pan. Position the pork belly on the chopping board.

4 Cut up the entire pork belly. Heat up the frying pan with the residual oil from the onions and garlic. Transfer the cut pork-belly slices into the frying pan and stir them while frying. Add some Thai fish sauce and add some ground black pepper. Stir the pork belly thoroughly, so they do not stick to the pan. Once the water has evaporated, add the fried onion and garlic to the fried pork belly. Mix the fried pork Belly with the fried onion and garlic. Position the eggplants on the chopping board. 4 Co., Ltd.

5 Cut away the end pieces of the eggplants, and get the eggplants prepared for cutting, one by one. First cut the eggplant longitudinally into halves, then again into quarter sections. Now, cut the quarter sections crosswise into slices of cm thickness. Transfer the eggplant slices into the frying pan with the fried onions, garlic and fried pork. Cut up the remaining eggplants, and add them into the frying pan. Then add some water. At this stage you also may add one Maggi cube.

While the eggplants are simmering, prepare a small pot. 6 Co., Ltd.

7 Fill two table spoons of wheat starch into the pot. Add some water to the wheat starch. The water shall be sufficient that the starch/water mixture remains liquid. Stir the starch and water until the starch is smoothly dissolved. Prepare the two fresh eggs. Punch the two eggs, egg yolk and egg white, into the starch-water mixture. And quickly stir it, so it becomes a smooth paste. Add some Thai fish sauce. And add some oyster sauce. Mix the Thai fish sauce and the oyster sauce thoroughly with the starch gravy. 7 Co., Ltd.
