How to choose fresh eggplant
- Fresh eggplant is shiny in color, evenly colored, with smooth skin, and the stem is still fresh green and tightly attached to the fruit.
- Choose eggplants that feel firm when picked up; gently press on the fruit to feel its firmness, ensuring it is not soft or mushy.
- Avoid choosing eggplants with wrinkled skin, bruises, or scratches, and wilted stems as these are low-quality eggplants.

How to prepare Crispy Eggplant
-
Prepare the eggplant
First, prepare a bowl of clean water and add 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring until the salt is completely dissolved.
Then wash the eggplants, cut off the stems, and use a knife to slice the eggplants into round slices of a suitable thickness. Next, place the eggplants in the diluted saltwater bowl to soak for about 5 – 10 minutes to prevent browning, then take the eggplants out and place them in a basket to drain.
-
Prepare other ingredients
You take 1 chicken egg, crack it into a bowl, then add a mixture of spices including: 1/3 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/3 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/3 teaspoon of sugar, and use chopsticks to mix well for better flavor.
Cut off the roots and any wilted leaves of the green onion, wash and drain, then chop finely.
-
Mix the batter
Add 100g of crispy batter flour, 70ml of filtered water, and the egg mixture from earlier into the bowl, then use chopsticks to stir the mixture until the batter is smooth and thick. The batter should not be too thick or too runny.
Next, add the chopped green onion into the batter mixture and mix well.
Finally, add all the eggplant into the batter bowl, and use a spoon to mix until the batter evenly coats the eggplant.
-
Fry eggplant with batter
Place a pan on the stove, turn the heat to medium, and add 400ml of cooking oil, heating until the oil is hot.
Once the oil is hot, add the battered eggplant and fry on low heat, turning the eggplant frequently until it is golden brown on both sides, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
Continue to fry in the same manner until all ingredients are used.
