Eggplant is a vegetable that can often be eaten on our table. It is not only nutritious and delicious, but also has a variety of recipes.

Wash the eggplant and cut into long thin pieces. Then, score a few cuts on the cut eggplant pieces, which will make it easier to steam the eggplant and make it more fragrant. Next, we will prepare a steamer, put the cut eggplant pieces into the steamer, and add an appropriate amount of water. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and steam the eggplant for about 10 minutes, until the eggplant is tender. It should be noted that the time for steaming eggplants should not be too long, otherwise the eggplants will become too soft and the taste will be affected. When the eggplant is steamed, remove it and place it in a large bowl. Mash the eggplant with a spoon until it becomes puree. Place the minced garlic cloves in a small bowl, add soy sauce, peanut butter, and sugar and mix well. This combination of sauces will add rich aroma and flavor to the eggplant puree. Pour the prepared sauce into the eggplant puree and mix the two thoroughly with a spoon. During this process, you can adjust the amount of sauce according to your personal taste.
