Chinese egg plant

guys can we talk about chinese egg plant and how it's the best thing ever. seriously, i don't know why we've all been messing around with that american (european maybe?) version all this time. chinese eggplant is so the way to go. And cathy will probably tell me a big fat duh

First off it cooks like zucchini which means it's super fast and not at all rubbery. Bert and I went to the chinese market last night to buy ramen and i just boiled that shit and added some of this eggplant, some long beans, some tofu and some baby bok choy. and the thing is...that if the ramen hadn't been there it would have been a really healthy dish.
