Generally, steaming for about ten or fifteen minutes is sufficient to cook.

If the eggplant is sliced, then in general, 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 bit 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 15 minutes is also 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 it also tastes better. Eggplant is very flavorful and if it's eaten with rice, it's very filling. You can poke the eggplant with chopsticks when it's almost done, and if it's easy to poke through, then it's done.

Precautions for steaming eggplants:

When steaming eggplants, you need to choose whether to steam them in cold water or hot water, and if we are steaming a whole eggplant, then it is better to choose cold water to steam it. Because it's easier to steam it, and the texture of a whole eggplant that is steamed is also very good. But if it is a slice of eggplant or a strip of eggplant, it is best to use hot water to steam it, because the eggplant will be more delicious and taste better, and it will not make the nutrients in the eggplant lost.

Generally, we have to add some seasonings, such as garlic, soy sauce, seafood, soy sauce and so on, these seasonings can be very good to increase the flavor of the eggplant. However, when adding garlic, pay attention, it is best to mince the garlic and cut it into garlic paste and add it to the eggplant. Another thing is to do a good job on the top of the eggplant to drizzle a layer of oil, this oil is generally burned to seven mature when you can pour on the top of the eggplant.
