Chinese eggplants are slender, elongated vegetables with glossy, thin purple skins and a mild, slightly sweet flesh. They cook quickly and absorb flavors well, making them excellent for stir fries, curries, grilling, roasting, or stews. Trim ends and slice or halve lengthwise; peel only if desired. Store in a cool location and use within several days for best texture.
