Steamed eggplant ingredients and steps

Every summer, my mother often makes steamed eggplant for me. It is really delicious. I am still drooling when I think about it now. So today I will tell you how to make steamed eggplant:

Ingredients for Steamed Eggplant:

2 long eggplants, 5 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, a few drops of sesame oil

Steamed Eggplant Method:

1. Take two long eggplants (many families don't peel them, but considering the pesticide pollution of vegetables nowadays, I still peel them to be more responsible when eating them) and then cut the eggplants into two sections, cut another section in the middle, and put them on the plate.

2. Steam in a steamer for 15 minutes until it is basically cooked. Shred into small strips after cooling. Generally, eggplants will have water after steaming, so you can drain some of it.

3. Pour some soy sauce, a small spoonful is enough, add minced garlic, and finally add vinegar, which should be a little more than the soy sauce, and then add a few drops of sesame oil and 2 grams of salt, stir well and you can eat.

4. In addition: you can cut some green pepper strips and steam the eggplant together, the taste is also great! But if you want to put this at the end, it is original, and you can also add sesame sauce, which is also good!

Tips:

It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. In particular, it has a high content of vitamin P. Every 10 grams contains 750 mg of vitamin P, which is far beyond the reach of many vegetables and fruits. Vitamin P can keep the blood vessel wall elastic and physiological function, prevent hardening and rupture, so eating eggplant regularly can help prevent and treat hypertension, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and hemorrhagic purpura.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, eggplant is a cold food. Therefore, eating it in summer can help clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and is especially suitable for people who are prone to prickly heat and boils. People with indigestion and diarrhea should not eat too much of it, as Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Eggplant is cold and laxative, and eating too much of it will cause abdominal pain and diarrhea."

Eggplant and other nightshade plants also contain a substance called solanine, which has anti-cancer effects.
