Cold Grilled Purple Eggplant

Overview

The most common way to cook eggplant cold is to steam it, but in this way the eggplant will absorb a lot of water. The roasting method can remove the water in the eggplant and better retain the flavor of the eggplant. The most important thing is that the eggplant cold is very suitable for those who have no appetite in summer and those who need to lose fat. It is very delicious, not inferior to fried eggplant or oily eggplant. The key is that it is low in calories and very tasty.
