How to make seasoned eggplant
[ingredient]
2 branches (based on small size)
1 tablespoon of chopped green onion
1/3 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon of red pepper powder
1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce
2/3 tuna extract
1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil
A little bit of sesame seeds





First, please wash the eggplant thoroughly.
Remove the stem of the branch, cut it lengthwise in half, and
After cutting it in half again, divide it into two equal parts.
If you slice the eggplant too thinly, when microwaving it
Please be careful as it may burn.


Please place the sliced eggplant in a microwave-safe container.
After covering it with a lid or plastic wrap, I microwaved it for 4 minutes.
If you have a large quantity of eggplant, cook it once in the middle to ensure it cooks evenly.
Please rummage through it.



I took it out after 4 minutes and it was cooked perfectly and moist.
It's hot, so use tongs and chopsticks
If you tear it in half one more time, it becomes soft.
It is good to eat.








You can make the sauce separately while the eggplant is cooking.

I seasoned it right away.

1/3 tablespoon minced garlic, 1/3 tablespoon sugar
2/3 tablespoon sesame oil, a little sesame seeds
Add 1/2 tablespoon of red pepper powder and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions
Mix it well by hand, and the seasoned eggplant is complete.
