Garlic Eggplant As Jelly
1.
The eggplant is washed and peeled. I bought the jelly ready-made. In Sichuan, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places, jelly is an indispensable snack in summer. You can see it everywhere. In addition to ordinary jelly, there are also mung bean or soybean jelly. The hot and sour jelly is really refreshing and relieving heat, appetizing and strengthening the spleen.
2.
Cut the peeled eggplant into equal parts and steam it on high heat for about five minutes. Don't steam it for too long. If the eggplant is steamed for too long, the eggplant will become discolored and watery, which will affect the taste.
3.
Dice the garlic, pound it into minced garlic, mix the various seasonings in the ingredients just now into a juice, and add some cucumber shreds to make the taste more refreshing.
4.
After the eggplant has cooled down, squeeze the water dry by hand, and then tear it into long strips.
5.
Spread the torn eggplant on the jelly, then pour the seasoning, and mix it gently with chopsticks. The action should be as gentle as possible, because the jelly is fragile, handle it gently, otherwise it will easily affect the appearance.
Tips:
Eggplant must not be steamed for five minutes, otherwise it will affect the taste.
