主题：【原创】文心每日一菜：烧茄子 -- 文心

Tell you a secret to cook home-made 烧茄子 :

1. cut eggplant into pieces in whatever size you prefer;

2. put cut eggplant into boiling water, or steam them for while, to let eggplant absorb enough water;

3. let the eggplant stay in air and dry out little bit, so no extra water outside, but inside they are still wet;

4. pan-fry eggplant in oil until they look yellowish; (not fry, but pan-fry, so you don’t need too much oil, though, more than ordinary pan-fry cooking of other vegetables. Anyway, eggplant would not absorb all the oil you use to fry them, even if you put tons of oil in cooker.)

5. put soy bean sauce, sugar, garlic!!! in the cooker and cook eggplant together.

6. add some green onion in cooked eggplant to make it pretty, but don't cook the

That is it! The step 2 is the key, and my invention. :) All my friends and my family members love 烧茄子 I made. :)

烧茄子＋西红柿＋花生米＋松子

放很多大蒜，也很好吃。这是跟一个意大利人学来的。

我喜欢用平底锅，把切成片的茄子两面都煎得焦黄，做出来烧茄子特别好吃。有人说，做中国菜一定要用凹形的中国炒菜锅。我觉得，这未必是一定之规。
