Home-style eggplant

Here's 10 step-by-step guide to making simple eggplant at home, with pictures. Slice the eggplant thinly. It's best to eat eggplant with the skin on, as the skin is rich in vitamin B, which can help supplement your body's vitamin B intake. Of course, if you think the skin is too thick and affects the taste, you can remove it. I bought some very young eggplants.
