Freezing eggplant in the freezer is a good way to preserve eggplant, which can retain the nutrition and taste of eggplant. Here's how to freeze eggplant in the refrigerator:

1. Prepare eggplant and bag.

First, you should choose fresh eggplant and slice it with a knife. Then you can choose to use an ice bag or a fresh-keeping bag to pack the cut eggplant.

Cooking eggplant

Eggplant needs heating before freezing. Boil eggplant pieces for 3 minutes, then put them in cold water 15-20 seconds to reduce the heat to avoid cracking.

Put it in an ice pack

Put the eggplant slices into the ice bag evenly to ensure that there are no gaps between the eggplant slices. If you use a fresh-keeping bag, put the eggplant pieces in the center of the bag and try to suck out the air.

Sealed bag

When using the fresh-keeping bag, seal it and label it, and write the date and content on the label. If an ice pack is used, seal it and put the eggplant pieces into the freezer.

store

The optimum temperature of frozen eggplant is about-18 C, so it should be stored in the freezer. During storage, high temperature or temperature rise should be avoided, otherwise the eggplant may be broken or otherwise damaged.

Thaw and cook.

When you need to use frozen eggplant, take it out and soak it in warm water for a few minutes to soften it. Then cook. Frozen eggplant can be used in all kinds of dishes, such as cooking, making soup and frying eggplant.
