How to cook fish-flavored eggplant

Tips

1. When choosing eggplants, choose those with uniform and rounded shapes, moderate tenderness, no cracks, rot, rust, spots, thin skin, few seeds, thick and tender flesh. Eggplants that feel light in the hand are tenderer. If they feel heavy, they are usually too old and have many seeds and are not tasty. The acidic substances in eggplants are easily oxidized and blackened. After cutting, soak the eggplants in clean water and take them out before cooking.

Precautions

1. Pat the eggplant dry with starch in advance to effectively prevent excessive oil absorption and make it taste better. If you don’t want to fry it, you can use less oil and stir-fry it.
