Skill summary
In fact, drying dried eggplant is very simple, but remember that it can't be directly dried, and it is easy to get black and moldy. Because eggplant will oxidize and brown when exposed to air, three points should be remembered before drying.
1, use tender eggplant instead of old eggplant. Old eggplant not only has large seeds and many seeds, but also has a thick skin and a particularly bad taste.
2. Eggplant should be cooked before drying. Eggplant contains phenols and oxidase, which will turn black when exposed to air. After boiling in water, oxidase can be inactivated and will not turn black. In addition, salt is added to the water, which can sterilize and inhibit bacteria, so that eggplant will not be moldy.
3, eggplant can not be too dry, after drying, it should be sealed and stored, and it can only be stored for a long time without moisture.
