Today's Kitchen Tip: What if you don't like eggplant because it's bitter?

If you like to eat eggplant but find it is bitter, you may want to try a Chinese eggplant.  It has a thinner skin, less seeds and is less bitter than a 'regular' globe  eggplant.  It also has a more delicate flavor.

While you can substitute a Chinese eggplant for a globe eggplant, just know that since it has a more delicate flavor, you probably will not want to use it in a dish where all the other flavors are very strong.  If the other ingredients in your dish have a strong flavor, you might lose the delicate flavor of the Chinese eggplant.
