Practice of drying eggplant

Sun-dried eggplant is more fragrant than meat in winter, and my family has to sun it seven or eight times a year.

Autumn is crisp and sunny, and it's time to store fresh eggplant. The eggplant planted at home is about to be pulled out. All the small eggplants left today are washed, cut and dried. It is especially delicious when stewed meat in winter. A pot of hot stew, nothing is warmer than this in winter.

Let's see how it is done!

1, prepare fresh eggplant first and clean up the soil. At the same time, watch the weather forecast and choose sunny days for several days.

The next step is to cut the eggplant. Cut eggplant into strips or slices. Don't cut too thick or too thin. This strip is as thick as the index finger. The thickness of the sheets is 0.5 cm.

When the sun goes down, the eggplant has shrunk.

4. This is the appearance of drying to 80%. It can also be completely dried. Because eggplant contains a lot of water, you must pay attention to turning it frequently when it is dry, otherwise it will easily grow hair.

5, if you like to eat more eggplant meat, it will dry to 80%. If you want to make the taste more and more firm, dry it thoroughly and preserve it. When the sun is 80% dry or the weather is bad, you can't continue to bask. Put it in a pot, add 3 times more salt than usual, grab it evenly, put it in a fresh-keeping bag and freeze it in the refrigerator.

6, eggplant dried, soaked.

7. Chicken stew with eggplant prepared today. You can also stew ribs and so on. They smell good. Stir-fry the sugar first. Pour oil into the pot, turn on a small fire, add 50 grams of white sugar, and stir-fry slowly until the white sugar melts until dense yellow-brown bubbles appear, just like the picture. Put the drained chicken in.

8. After the chicken is wrapped in sugar, put the prepared home-made seasonings, such as onion, ginger, garlic, aniseed cinnamon, fragrant leaves, tsaoko, angelica dahurica and fennel, and add a spoonful of red oil bean paste. Stir fry for one minute.

9. After frying, add a spoonful of braised soy sauce and stir well.

10, hot water, not a little chicken. And it is best to replenish enough water at a time. If you add less, you can also add it halfway. It's still delicious to add enough at one time.

1 1, boil and stew 10 minutes. Then turn to low heat. Dry the soaked eggplant and stew for about 35 minutes. Don't stew the soup too dry. Better bring some soup.

12, add some green and red pepper when cooking, or decorate it with lush green, which is even more delicious.

13, if you eat eggplant like this, you will really warm your feet from head to toe in winter, which makes you feel comfortable.

14, try it if you like. This is the seventh batch of eggplant I dried today. I bought one kilogram more today. It is estimated that 30 yuan can't buy a kilogram after drying.
