The most delicious eggplants belong to the green-skinned eggplants from Northeast China. They can not only be eaten raw, but can also be steamed and mixed with soybean paste. Eggplant is rich in iron and has antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Eggplant can be eaten raw or cooked. Used to stew, make tomato sauce, fried eggplant boxes, garlic eggplant, and can also be used as side dishes.

But I prefer to eat Northeastern green eggplants with fried eggplant sauce. Pick the Northeastern green eggplants, remove the eggplant stems, clean them, and wipe them dry with a clean scouring pad;

Prepare a small dish of homemade Northeastern soybean paste, appropriate amounts of chopped green onion, minced ginger, hot pepper and vegetable oil.

Preparation method: remove the stems of the peppers, wash and chop them into small pieces, add vegetable oil to the pot and heat it, pour in the dried eggplants, fry the eggplants over low heat until soft, add chopped green onion, minced ginger, and crushed peppers, pour Add bean paste, fill in an appropriate amount of water, and simmer over medium heat until the eggplant is fragrant. The fried tomato paste will not only be fragrant, but also appetizing and can be eaten with rice.

Eggplant is a vegetable that can be eaten all year round, but this kind of Northeast green eggplant is generally only available in June every year. Greenhouse eggplants are more fresh and tender, but The most delicious ones are the green-skinned eggplants grown in the land that are on the market in July. Eggplants have a stronger flavor and are easy to cook. However, if there is frost around October 1st, this kind of eggplant will freeze to death and stop growing. The ungrown eggplants can be used to make pickles, steamed and pickled, or washed and dried. Use salt to remove the moisture, put it into a gauze bag, and put it in a jar. The raw pickled eggplants have a strong fragrance and are crispy when chewed.

In addition to the above ways of eating Northeastern green eggplants, you can also choose medium-sized eggplants to pickle garlic eggplants. Garlic eggplants are also one of the delicacies of the Northeast. Wash the medium-sized green eggplants and cook them in a steamer until they are cooked, but do not steam them too much. If they are too rotten, they will not be able to be clamped. Add the coriander and garlic. Slide the steamed eggplants from the middle and remove them. Pound the garlic and chopped coriander, mix with salt, put it between the eggplants and marinate for 1-2 hours. Garlic eggplants are also an appetizer with rice.
