Step 1

To make this dish, you can use either round eggplant or long eggplant. I used round eggplant.

Step 2

Wash the round eggplant clean and cut it into roll-cut pieces, put them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and marinate to remove excess water.

Step 3

After the eggplant has released its water, discard the water. The eggplant that has been marinated with salt will not absorb too much oil, making this dish healthier to eat.
