This is a little twist from the usual Eggplant dish which similar ingredients are used except for the core vegetable that’s being replaced by cabbage which is more commonly acceptable. I do know of some people who absolutely hate eggplants to the core liked how I used to feel, but having know how to cook eggplants now, I actually quite fell in love with this vegetable.

Incorporating the ???? idea into this cabbage dish eliminates the need for blanching the eggplants in hot oil, instead this step is replaced by braising the cabbage till tenderness in the sauce till it’s fragrant and soft. A very delicious and awesome recipe that goes on perfectly with a bowl of rice.
