My family's cold eggplant practice is:
Wash eggplant, peel it, cut it into four pieces and put it in a bowl for later use;
Steam the eggplant with high fire for about 10 minute, squeeze out the water after the eggplant is soft and rotten, and pour it into the plate;
Sprinkle salt and monosodium glutamate on eggplant, cool, add Jiang Mo, sesame oil, soy sauce and vinegar, and mix well.
I like sour food very much, because vinegar can soften blood vessels. This dish is suitable for hot weather.
