Ingredients List
Important Notes
Steaming the eggplant eliminates the greasiness of deep-frying, resulting in a lighter, healthier dish that retains its fresh, sweet flavor. 💡
Test the eggplant's doneness by piercing it with chopsticks; if it passes through easily, it is fully steamed. ⚠️
When preparing the meat sauce, make the seasoning slightly bold so it stays flavorful when poured over the plain steamed eggplant. 👥
