Hello everyone, I am Yueyue’s Food Hub. When it comes to purple vegetables like eggplant, many friends think that if you want to make eggplant delicious, you must add more oil. Mainly because The flesh of eggplant is soft and spongy, which is relatively oil-absorbent, so a lot of oil is needed. This has led many people to think of the word greasy when they hear eggplant. If you want your eggplant to be delicious, juicy and not greasy, Yueyue will share with you a home-cooked method. It is mainly divided into 3 steps:

1: I like to buy purple-skinned eggplants, which have more anthocyanins and a more delicate texture. Wash first and cut into long sections of about 5 cm, then cut into thin strips. Immediately after cutting, soak in cold water to prevent discoloration.

2: Wash the lean meat at this time Chop it into minced meat. I used whole lean meat here. Friends who like to eat a little oily can also add half of the skinless pork belly. After mincing, put it into a bowl, add light soy sauce and oyster sauce and mix well. Marinate it for flavor, and prepare some chili peppers for later use. Next, drain the eggplants, pour them into a steamer, and steam them in cold water for about 8 minutes. Since the eggplant slices are relatively thin, they will easily become soft during steaming. Please note The steaming time should not be too long. This is the trick I learned from the chef to make delicious eggplants. When frying eggplants, instead of frying the lean meat first, you need to add an extra step to steam the eggplants first, so as to prevent them from cooking. Too much oil is absorbed during frying, resulting in a greasy texture. This step is very critical.

3: Wash the frying pan, heat it, add a little cooking oil, and pour the marinated lean meat into the pot. Stir-fry quickly until the minced meat changes color. Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour the steamed eggplant into the pot and stir quickly to allow the eggplant to absorb the flavor of the lean meat. , it’s time to season, add a spoonful of salt, pour in a spoonful of light soy sauce, and oyster sauce, mix well, add diced chili peppers and chopped green onions before serving, and serve on a plate. The eggplant fried meat made in this way is smooth and tender, the eggplant is soft and glutinous, delicious and not greasy, and tastes great.

Friends who like eggplant should give it a try.
