How to make refreshing and fragrant eggplant in summer

Food is the most important thing for people. Only healthy and nutritious food we eat every day can keep our body healthy. Speaking of nutrition and health, of course the most delicious food is the food we cook at home. Today, I will teach friends who like to cook how to make a refreshing and fragrant eggplant salad in summer, so that your family can eat more healthily.

1.12 Wash and slice the eggplant.

2.21 Put the eggplant into the steamer and pay attention to the steaming time. When the color of the eggplant becomes lighter and it can be poked with chopsticks, you can turn off the heat.

3. Set aside to cool.

4. While the eggplant is steaming in the pot, you can prepare the seasoning: peel and chop the garlic and ginger.

5. The following is the key sauce preparation. Prepare an empty bowl and pour in sesame oil, vinegar and soy sauce. The proportion of various seasonings must be controlled well. You can adjust it according to your personal taste. Sesame oil is the least amount. Sesame oil has the most fragrance. A small amount of sesame oil can play a role in enhancing the flavor. You don’t need to add more vinegar. Add it according to your personal taste. It should be reminded that vinegar has a strong sour taste. If you don’t like sour food very much, put less, otherwise the vinegar taste will cover other flavors. Soy sauce has the most amount. The saltiness of the whole dish depends on it, so put as much as you want (I’m not asking you to put half a bowl at a time...)

6. Now add the magical ingredient – ​​honey! Don’t think that the combination of salty, sour and sweet will taste weird! How will you know if you don’t try! Everyone knows that three-yellow chicken and red-skinned duck are delicious, right? The secret to their deliciousness lies in their dipping sauces. Why are the dipping sauces so delicious? It's because they have sugar in them that they have a sweet taste. It can be seen that sweetness is a very bright element in the seasoning. After adding honey, pour in the minced garlic and ginger that have just been processed, and start stirring the seasoning. Since honey is a semi-solid, if you want to make the seasoning uniform, you need to stir until no honey clumps are visible. By this time, I believe the minced ginger and garlic have been fully dissolved in the seasoning.

7. Take the cooled eggplant aside, and then evenly sprinkle the seasonings in the bowl on it, especially the minced ginger and garlic. I believe you don’t want to eat “half a mouthful of eggplant and half a mouthful of garlic”... Next, sprinkle some salt on the eggplant that has been poured with sauce. The sauce cannot completely penetrate into the eggplant, so this can ensure the saltiness of the eggplant.

8. Finally, stir it lightly and serve it on the table. The refreshing and fragrant summer eggplant is ready ~ it is absolutely delicious ~!

The refreshing and fragrant summer eggplant salad may seem complicated, but if you actually try it, you will find that it is not difficult at all. The key is that you must master the specific steps and methods before you do it.
