Love To Bake Steamed Eggplant Amongst Garlic Vinaigrette 蒜泥茄子

A western recipe? Nope. This is a Chinese dish.

I’ve eaten this earlier at a local tiffin spot, serving mixed rice (chap fan or 经济饭), in addition to this is ane of my fav dishes from them. And when I saw the recipe hither inward MeishiChina , gosh, I knew I only got to endeavor this.

There is a divergence though amongst both recipes. The ane I had was lightly deep fried to educate it through, but this is steamed, but the garlic thingy is the same. But I made my ain modifications to it.

Even my "sour nutrient hater" wife flora this to live squeamish in addition to appetizing, perhaps due to his dearest for garlic, hahahaha.
