Braised tomato strips
By BrockHand
In summer and autumn, eggplant, an annual herb of the Solanaceae family, has been on the market in large quantities. Its varieties are divided into white eggplants, purple eggplants and green eggplants, and their shapes are long and round. Eggplant, known as Luo Su in ancient times, is also made as cheese crisp. Li Shizhen, a leading medical expert in the Ming Dynasty, explained in the book "Compendium of Materia Medica": Eggplant is called Luo Su, which is originally cheese crisp, and its taste is like cheese crisp. Eggplant originated in India and was introduced to my country during the Han and Jin Dynasties. It is a cheap, nutritious and popular melon vegetable in summer and autumn. This cuisine is made by cutting eggplant into strips, frying with dry starch, and then adding seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients to cook. After being cooked, the color is dark red, soft, tender and fresh, slightly spicy and slightly sweet.

When cooking at home, in order to save fuel, you can directly stir-fry in an oil pan, and then add seasonings to fire. 4. When thickening, the sauce should be moderate.
