Ten to fifteen minutes.

If the eggplant is sliced, then generally, steam about ten minutes can be cooked, it is best not to steam for too long, because too long, it is easy to steam the eggplant a little old, and then go to fish it out of the pot to eat, it will feel not so delicious.

If the eggplant is lumpy, then usually, steaming for about fifteen minutes can be cooked. But in our daily life, most of the time, we cut the eggplant into slices or strips, because not only can it be steamed faster, but also tastes better.

When steaming eggplant, if we are a whole eggplant, then it is best to choose cold water to steam it. Because it's easier to steam it, and the texture of a whole eggplant that's steamed is great. But if it's a sliced eggplant or a strip of cubed eggplant, it's best to use hot water to steam it, because the eggplant will taste better and have a better texture.
