What a delicious way to use eggplant! I am a big fan of eggplant. I can cook eggplant in many ways. Most often I cooked it in Indonesian style as bruises eggplant along with chili paste. Eggplants dishes are almost always great in many ways. And it tastes always good no matter how we cook it, stir-fries, steaming, salad, or even braising recipes. It’s always taste amazing. Here I am going to share one of my favorite dish when I was in Hong Kong based on eggplant. Chinese steamed eggplant. But since I have only one eggplant, it wouldn’t enough for two of us.
