Chinese Eggplants
Pane-Bistecca
What I love very much about Chinese cuisine is that they cook with very fresh ingredients. So it is usually cooked on the same day as it was purchased. That’s why there is always such a hustle and bustle in the vegetable markets. I love that! Here I bring you a very simple recipe for Chinese eggplant.
It goes well as a side dish with any meat or fish dish, or it can be served as a vegetarian meal with rice or even with noodles.

Step 1

Step 2
Now let everything saute until the eggplants are soft. I usually cover the pot; this helps the eggplants soften faster. Add the chopped scallions and mix.

Step 3
If you want to serve these eggplants as a “sauce” with pasta, add the tomato sauce now and mix it well. The eggplants go very well with white rice.
