When you cook Eggplant with other ingredients, sometimes you need to cook Eggplant separately. ‘Scrumptious Pork & Eggplant’ is an example. For this ‘Scrumptious Chicken & Eggplant’, you can cook Eggplant and Chicken together in the steam-frying method. What is that? It’s simple. Cover the pan with a lid and trap the steam, so that Eggplant will be cooked meltingly soft.
