        \n
      • This dish is originally from China and uses Chinese eggplants that are smaller and lighter than those common to the US.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Eggplant is a fruit similar to tomatoes and is available all year, but best during July to October.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Look for eggplants with firm, glossy skin that feel heavy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Add any seasonal vegetables you have on hand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n
