STEP 1/12
I seasoned the eggplant from the garden, but it was smaller than the market, so I seasoned four. It's about 2 to 3 pieces. Eggplants are weak at low temperatures, so it's good to keep them at room temperature The color of the eggplant's skin turns black, so be careful and eat it quickly
STEP 2/12
We're going to start with a simple way of making seasoned eggplant by steaming it in a microwave oven, cutting the eggplant into three parts by length and cutting it in about two-thirds of the way in a cross shape.
STEP 3/12
Cut all the branches into 10 shapes and tie them in a disposable plastic bag. All you have to do is remove the tip of the eggplant and wash it clean, so it's easy to take care of
STEP 4/12
Make a few holes with chopsticks.
STEP 5/12
Put it in the microwave and heat it for about 5 minutes. It takes only 5 minutes to steam eggplants in the microwave. It's good because you can steam the eggplant easily without steaming it in a pot, making it simpler in the summer.
STEP 6/12
While the eggplant is blanching, chop the chives or green onions into small pieces
STEP 7/12
The eggplant is all steamed, but depending on the microwave specifications, there may be a time difference, so take it out and if you don't have enough time, you can heat it for another 1 to 2 minutes
STEP 8/12
Put the eggplant in cold water to remove the heat and season it. It is hot summer, so it tastes better to eat cool than hot. And if you soak the eggplant in water for a while, it removes the bitter and pungent taste.
STEP 9/12
Squeeze the water and put it in a bowl.
STEP 10/12
Add all the seasoning ingredients. Seasoned eggplant with soy sauce in it rather than dark soy sauce, it tastes deeper and cleaner. If you add some fish sauce to the soy sauce, it will taste good. If possible, I like low-salt fish sauce.
STEP 11/12
Mix it well. Add or subtract the seasoning to your liking.

Seasoned eggplants made by steaming eggplants in a microwave are done
