Today I will show you one of the easy and simple recipes for making eggplant. This can replace you enjoying non-vegan dishes at home. Well, being inspired by social media made me have to try this dish at home.

I also want to take part in the challenge from Hive Top Cheff with a vegan theme this time. This is something extraordinary, I am used to serving vegan food even though I am not a vegan. It would be fun to follow the theme this time, although it is far from perfect with simple dishes.

At first I was hesitant about what dish I wanted to serve, but my choice was eggplant. Because in my opinion, eggplant's texture will be very similar to meat if it is processed into a perfect dish, right?
