Solanum japonica

Solanum japonica
Eggs (ng) is a delicacy in the famous book Dream of the Red Chamber and the most detailed dish written by Cao Xueqin. When Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, the Lady Dowager asked Xifeng to bring eggshells for Grandma Liu to eat. Xifeng's words introduced this dish. It is hard to imagine that ordinary eggplant would be treated so solemnly. At that time, it was definitely not a meal for ordinary people. Of course, the original flavor of eggplant is impossible to explore. Smart gourmets copied this "famous dish" for us. The dish I made was made with my favorite ingredients. Although the recipe was different, it was still extremely delicious.
