Strain the oil and cook the eggplant slices with rice

Overview

Eggplant is a common ingredient. It seems that cooking eggplant requires oil. If it's not too oily, it won't taste as good. But now we pay attention to eating healthily. Too much oil is not good. I learned a way to filter out the oil from oiled eggplants and then fry them. It’s a really good method. I'm trying it today. I originally wanted to add raw minced garlic and chopped coriander at the end. I forgot about it, but I remembered to join in when I was halfway through eating. It tastes delicious without adding it, but it tastes even better with minced garlic and coriander.

  2. Pour slightly more oil into the pan. The oil temperature needs to be higher. When it is about 70% to 80% hot, add the eggplant slices and fry over medium heat until the eggplant becomes soft and yellow. Remove and drain the oil.
