Dry some dried eggplant, and the stew will be more fragrant than eating meat in winter

Today I would like to share with you a stewed chicken with eggplant, a pot of hot stew, which doesn't get warmer than this on a winter day.

Here's how to do it!

1. Prepare fresh eggplant first, and clean it if there is soil. At the same time, you should also look at the weather forecast and choose to do it when the weather is sunny for several days in a row.

2. The next step is to cut the eggplant. Cut the eggplant into strips or slices. Don't cut too thick, and don't cut too thin. Strips as thick as your index finger will do. Flakes are 0.5 cm thick.

3. When the sun comes down, the eggplant has already dried and begun to shrink.

4. This is the appearance of drying to 8 into dry. It can also be completely sun-dried. Because the eggplant has a lot of moisture, when drying, you must pay attention to turning it frequently, otherwise it is easy to grow hair.

5. If you like to eat more eggplant meat, dry it until it is eighty percent dry. If you want a firmer texture, dry it completely and store it. When it is 8 percent dry or the weather is bad and you can't continue to dry it, put it in a basin, add 3 times more salt than usual to fry these vegetables, grasp it evenly, put it in a fresh-keeping bag, and freeze it in the refrigerator.

6. Sun-dried eggplant, soaked.

7. Eggplant stewed chicken prepared today. You can also stew pork ribs, etc., all of which are very fragrant. Let's fry the sugar color first. Pour oil into the pan, turn on low heat, add 50 grams of sugar, and slowly fry until the sugar melts, until dense yellow-brown bubbles appear, like in the picture. Blanch the chicken and drain it.

8. After the chicken is coated in sugar, then put the prepared home-style spices, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, grass fruits, angelica, cumin, peppercorns, and then add a spoonful of red oil and bean paste. Fry for one minute.

9. After stir-frying, add a spoonful of braised dark soy sauce and stir-fry evenly.

10. Add hot water, a little more than the chicken. And it is best to add enough water at one time. If you add less, you can add it halfway. It's still delicious to make it all at once.

11. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Then reduce to medium-low heat. Add the soaked dried eggplant and simmer for about 35 minutes. Don't stew the soup too dry, it's better to bring some soup.

12. When out of the pot, add some green and red peppers, or green onions or something to decorate, it is more beautiful and delicious.

13. Eating eggplant like this will really warm you from head to toe in winter, and it is called a comfortable place to eat.
