Ingredients
- Chinese eggplants - watch the video to see (use as needed, cut into equal sized pieces)
- Water - watch the video to see (for boiling, enough to create steam without touching the eggplants)
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggplants: Cut the Chinese eggplants into equal sized pieces, using a freshly cut piece as a guide for more even cuts. Slice each piece into 4 smaller pieces lengthwise.
- Arrange for Steaming: Place the eggplant pieces on a plate suitable for steaming. Arrange the thicker pieces, especially the heads of the eggplants, on top as they require a longer cooking time due to denser flesh.
- Steam: Steam for about 15 minutes, or until the eggplants are soft. Ensure the food is elevated above boiling water and covered during steaming.
