Braised eggplant

Introduction:

"How to cook eggplant? In fact, eggplant is delicious no matter how it is cooked, and the taste varies slightly due to different recipes. Braised eggplant is a very common home dishes, but ordinary braised eggplant can also do: vegetables than meat. But if you want to make braised eggplant more delicious than meat, you have to have a little idea in it. Let's talk about how my family makes braised eggplant. The dishes of my family are not cottage versions. If they are similar, it's a coincidence! My idea about the cooking of eggplant is: the cold one must have garlic, and the braised one must have large oil and flour sauce. This is the confession of a eggplant lover. ① Eggplant after frying to remove part of the water, meat will become tight and delicate. ② After frying with oil, the sauce becomes fragrant and thick, which makes the vegetables taste better. Only in this way can the eggplant be fragrant and soft. ③ The addition of garlic and green pepper can remove the greasy and white sugar, and can save the disturbance of monosodium glutamate. ④ Star anise, cinnamon and fragrant leaves are generally used to cook meat. When you cook eggplant with these spices, the taste of eggplant naturally means meat. "
