2. Boil the eggplant and other water, then put it in a pot and steam for 10 minute, then steam until soft and cooked. If steamed for too long, eggplant meat will become soft and rotten, which will affect the appearance. When the eggplant is steamed in the pot, it is not necessary to slice and cut into pieces in advance, and the cut eggplant should be steamed for a shorter time, otherwise the eggplant slices will be steamed into mud. Eggplant skin can be selectively removed, and it is normal that eggplant without skin will fade when steamed.
