凉拌手撕茄子 (Liang Ban Shou Si Qie Zi)



For some reason, eggplant does not show up in my dinner menu that often, one of the reasons is that it takes some effort to make a successful eggplant dish. This recipe is my first time experimenting cooking eggplant using microwave, it turned out to be so simple and it could hardly go wrong. There are a lot more great Chinese vegetarian dishes you can try at home. The best part is you can make this dish within 10 minutes.
