Tips:

The eggplant shall be fried with a small amount of oil in advance, so that it will obsorb the flavor. Fry it with simmering fire, use less oil. Great fire would require a large amount of oil.

When stewing the eggplants, use a small amount of water as soup. The eggplants would loose water while stewing, and too much water would weaken the fragrance of the dish.
