Braised Eggplant with Soybean Sauce

Overview

Eggplant has high nutritional value, and its main function is to soften blood vessels and prevent arteriosclerosis, so it is especially suitable for the elderly. Since eggplants tend to absorb oil during cooking, in order to achieve a rich flavor while absorbing less fat, you can cook the eggplants whole. This method leaves the fat in the soup, but there is no fat inside the eggplant.
