Braised Eggplant and Tomato

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare all the ingredients by chopping them. Cut the eggplant into chunks, add a spoonful of salt and marinate for a few minutes. This way, you won't need to add much oil when stir-frying the eggplant, making it healthier. Peel and dice the tomatoes, and mince the ginger, scallions, and garlic.
