Braised eggplant

Braised eggplant

Overview

As we all know, eggplant is extremely rich in nutrients. It is one of the few purple vegetables and a very common home-cooked vegetable on the table. Its purple skin is rich in vitamin E and vitamin P, which is unmatched by other vegetables. Everyone knows that eggplant absorbs a lot of oil during cooking, but this can be avoided as long as it is cooked properly. For today's braised eggplant, I didn't cut the eggplant into small pieces and put it in the oil pan. Instead, I fried the eggplant whole with the skin on, and then cut it into sections after frying. This way it tastes not greasy and very delicious.
