What Eggplants to Use

Recommend to use Korean or Asian eggplants that are longer and skinnier than larger globe eggplants. The skin is thinner so easier to eat it.

If you don’t have access to Asian eggplants, you can use the larger globe eggplants. May want to shave off some of the skin.

How Long to Store It

Store any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate them. Try to consume it in 3 days, as it may get watery over time.
