So beautiful 🍆🍆, tender and no need to peel, just over 1💴 per pound, so cheap. Bought ten pounds to dry some eggplants under the ☀️. In the autumn 🍁🍂 and winter ❄️, it can be used to braise with pork.
The "Fuchun Farmer" organic farm's 🍆 is thriving. After placing an order, the eggplants are harvested at dawn the next morning and delivered immediately in the morning, very fresh, each one is slender and tender. No need to peel when drying the eggplants; they're still soft. The farm is running a promo, so I stocked up ten pounds over the weekend to dry some eggplants under the ☀️. They'll be perfect for braising with pork during the autumn 🍁🍂 and winter ❄️. After cutting into strips, you can use either sun-drying or steam-drying methods. During summer, a few days under the big ☀️ sun will do the job.
Ingredients
Steps
Tender 🍆, such gorgeous color, rich in anthocyanins. Remove the stem and the base;
Wash clean;
Pat the 🍆 dry with kitchen paper, and cut into long strips;
For sun-drying, just take them out and dry directly;
Steam in a pot;
Steam until slightly softened;
For steam-drying: once softened, take them out and dry;
When drying the 🍆 under the ☀️, it's best to use a vegetable 🌂 umbrella to keep away flies 🦗 and insects 🐜 for clean and hygienic drying.
After 3 days of ☀️ sun in summer, you can store them for braising with pork later 🥢.
Once 🍆 has dried under the ☀️, store them in a tin can.
