Our star ingredient for today is the delicious eggplant. We often overlook this humble vegetable, which is a significant oversight considering its nutritional benefits. It's packed with vitamins B, C, and K and minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. And that's not all - the eggplant is low in calories and serves as an excellent source of dietary fiber. Isn't that a compelling reason to make this purple wonder a staple in your diet?

Serve your eggplant prepared this way, leaving your guests in awe. It never fails to impress!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 eggplants
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar + water
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 green onion
  • 1 chili pepper
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar

Preparation:

Step 1. Start by preparing the eggplants. Cut the vegetables into smaller pieces and soak them in a bowl filled with water and vinegar. Ensure all the pieces are submerged by placing a plate over them and letting them sit for 10 minutes.

Wondering why? This simple method prevents the eggplant from discoloring and prevents browning.

Step 2. After 10 minutes, set a steamer in a pot on the stove. Place the pre-soaked eggplant pieces inside and steam them for 10 minutes.

Step 3. While the eggplant steams, prepare the sauce by mixing the soy sauce and sugar using a regular tablespoon.

Step 4. Next, transfer the steamed eggplant pieces into a serving dish. Then, add the toppings: peeled and pressed garlic cloves, finely chopped green onion, chili pepper, and the sauce you prepared earlier.
