Okay 4. Eggplant zucchini tomato, : Okay. Hello dear friends, Gogo evening. So I just made this dish and use my mushroom sauce. I already precooked some of the mushroom, and now I will just cut the vegetable and cook it. And it's soft, tender. Of course, you can decide your own preference according to your own preference, the crunches strength or how long you cook. But roughly, this is what I really like. Um, zucchini, eggplant, and some tomato. Okay, hello the friends. So I have eggplant, tomato, and zucchini. Now, let's cut it. And the cutting should be quite easy. And this is why I like to eat this kind of food. I already have mushroom sauce and meat sauce, which I prepared during the weekend. So when I am busy, I can just cut and cook. Put it in the pot. The pot has some water has some oil because I just cook something else so that it will not waste any of the taste. Okay, put it. Okay. I will keep on. I have not yet turned the fire strong. Okay. I saw the teter in the middle, one, two, and two in the middle, in the middle, in the middle. Okay, we will start to turn on the fire. I think I will use cut into one, two, three parts. Okay. And chin the same sm one, two, two middle. Okay. Now we can turn the fire strong. And what do we do with this tomato? It's adding some sweetness, acidic, sweet and sour. Make your food more delicious. Put it in, and then we put in a mushroom sauce. Oh, I put them all in. Okay. And then we put in some meat sauce. Oh, I cannot open it. My family is not here, so maybe we will do it without meat. This is the meat. I cooked. Okay, let me cover it up. Okay. Now you can hear right? Put it lower it down a little bit. So at this time, the walk is hot and there is heat on it, but it will not burn just yet. It takes a couple of minutes. So let it cook, let the heat start to accumulate. A couple of minutes later, you start to turn around and let the flavor sink in. And it depends on how much things, how salty, how strong, how spicy you want, you can adjust the quantity of the mushroom sauce or chili pepper sauce or anything else. Do I make any sense? Now, we will turn it a little bit. Now, let's take a look. Okay, I cover it up, and this one, we can use the strongest fire. Use a strong fire so that the water evaporates immediately and the muscle of the vegetable. I mean, the vegetable suddenly get heat. I just tightens, so there is more texture in your vegetable. Let it cook for 5 minutes. And make sure it does not get burned. I will not show you. I stir it around, but you get the idea, right? Okay, 2 minutes later, I didn't turn very strong fire. Let's see. So you can see the water coming up, the moisture from the vegetable. Cover it up and keep on another 5 minutes, 10 minutes. See you later. A again. Okay, so now another 5 minutes is almost good it's taken off. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad at all. Pepper. Hello. Bye bye. Hello. I buy salt and pepper. Hello. Little bit of the cooking oil. As the finishing hot Oh. Okay, now it's done. We take it out. Then we try to make it pretty. It's a little bit mushy, but it's full of taste, a little bit like Hata Doi. And I like it. Yeah. And tomato, you already cannot see it. Uh oh, sorry. Now, take a look. Bonapa dough. So this one Mm hmm, is like this. You can add up some olive oil pepper to as a final touch your choice. Why not?
