Steamed Chinese Eggplants with Garlic Soy Sauce recipe




This recipe is a delicious and healthy alternative to preparing eggplants. When frying eggplants, they soak up loads of oil very quickly. But steaming makes the eggplants go really tender and moist, and lighter to eat.

With garlic and soy sauce thrown into the mix, you just know this will be a winner. It is light, healthy and delicious - wonderful served with warm rice.
