   How to cook eggplant in Chinese? First, prepare everything you need. Take strong eggplants, with a whole skin. Bulgarian pepper is juicy, sweet. I have it red, but you can take any color. Wash vegetables with a brush in running water before slicing.

   Eggplant (I do not peel them) cut into a medium-sized cube (about 1x1 cm).

   Add salt to the eggplant, mix and let stand for a while. Then rinse under the tap and squeeze the water from the eggplant.
