Why are fried eggplants bitter

1. One possibility is that the eggplants you cooked are too old, another possibility is that the soy sauce you used to cook the eggplants is not delicious, and there is another possibility It may be that you added the sugar too early and cooked it for too long. The resulting eggplant was not very tasty, or even very bitter!

2. Cooked eggplants will become bitter because the eggplant skin is too thick. It can also be said that the eggplant you bought is a bit old. Whether the old eggplant is fried or stir-fried, it must be peeled. If you don't peel it, the skin of the old eggplant will become hard due to frying or deep-frying, and it will be astringent or even bitter in the mouth. Be careful to control the heat when peeling. If cooked too well, it will rot.

3. Cooking tips: Eggplant itself is bland and tasteless, and it easily absorbs the flavor of sauces and spices. You can lightly fry them before cooking to avoid browning. And when frying in a large pot, it is not advisable to add water and stir fry over medium heat.

Eggplant tastes bitter when burned, and the skin cannot be chewed. It may be that you bought old eggplants, which contain a lot of solanine and are harmful to the human body, so avoid eating eggplants that are too old.

In the current vegetable market, there are two types of eggplants, one is produced by vegetable bases and the other is larger; the other is produced by farmers and comes in different sizes and thicknesses.

How to choose fresh and delicious eggplants? When buying eggplants, there is a light-colored ring where the sepals connect to the fruit. The wider the ring, the more obvious it is, indicating that the eggplant fruit is growing rapidly and has no senescence. If the ring is not obvious, it means that the eggplant has stopped growing when harvested, so it is an old eggplant. Check whether the eggplant is elastic. Some consumers think that small eggplants will be tender, but this is not the case. When purchasing, lightly press the surface of the eggplant with your fingers. If the finger marks on the eggplant do not rebound after you release your fingers, it means the eggplant is old and will have a waxy taste whether it is ripe or cold.
