Refreshing Chinese-style Eggplant Salad

I still had some eggplants left over after making my previous eggplant recipe ("Mild flavored Eggplant Curry Stir Fry"), so this time around I used them in a side dish rather than a main dish.

After microwaving the eggplants, when you shred them up, be careful not to burn yourself! If it's too hot to handle, you can cut them up with a knife instead.
If you chill it in the refrigerator after Step 7, it will become even better. For 4 servings. Recipe by KaHoM

  7. 7

    If the shredded up pieces are too long, cut with a knife.
