Advice
Fried eggplant is a delicious side dish that can be a great addition to any meal. To get the best-tasting fried eggplant, make sure to start with a fresh eggplant that is firm and free of soft spots. To prepare it, cut the eggplant into half-inch slices and soak it in a bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes. This will help to reduce the bitterness of the eggplant and make it more tender. Once it is ready, pat the slices dry and dip them in a mixture of egg and flour. Fry them for a few minutes on each side on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy. Finally, season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
