Instructions
1
Steam the eggplants
Wash the eggplants, steam until cooked, and let cool.
2
Make the garlic paste
Peel the garlic, remove the seeds from the hot peppers, put them together in a blender and grind, chop the cilantro, add salt and mix well.
3
Stuff with garlic paste
Use chopsticks to slit the eggplant lengthwise (but not all the way through), stuff in the mixed garlic paste, then close it back up.
4
Refrigerate and marinate
Place a layer of eggplants in a storage container, sprinkle a layer of salt on top, then add another layer of eggplants and sprinkle salt again, and refrigerate.
