Sautéed eggplant puree with oil-saving sauce
Overview
Everyone knows that over-oiled eggplants have a fragrant aroma; it seems quite difficult to cook eggplants without over-oiling them and still make them taste delicious. But it’s not completely impossible. I recently discovered a very fuel-efficient way to cook eggplants—use a microwave to soften the eggplants, and then cook them in the usual way. Today, let’s start with the sweet and sour sauce-roasted eggplant puree. The secret to the deliciousness is the sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar and sugar, and - chili. The taste may be different from that of oily eggplant, but it is still delicious with rice, and more importantly, it is less oily and less burdensome.
