Cold stewed eggplant and okra

Today is “Cold stew of eggplant and okra.”
A menu where you can take plenty of summer vegetables.
The aubergine, which is stewed until it becomes thick, goes very well with the refreshing main dish.
Of course it’s delicious keep hot, but this time I wanted to match it with chilled somen so I made it cold.
The cool eggplant is also exceptional.

Okra is also a nutritious ingredient that is essential for summer .
Select a small, straight and well-shaped okra.

When the eggplant is fully cooked, add okra and paprika and boil for a while.
It’s easier to boil than eggplant, so add it to the end so that the color keep as beautiful as possible.

I hope you will give it a try.

2 Heat the frying pan over medium heat and drain the sesame oil.
