Kim Ho-yoon's Stir-fried Eggplant

A chewy, non-soggy eggplant side dish made by salting and draining with starch syrup to remove moisture before stir-frying.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using starch syrup along with salt when salting the eggplant draws out moisture quickly without making it too salty, preventing sogginess and creating a chewy texture.
  • The harder you squeeze the salted eggplant to remove moisture, the less water will come out in the pan, allowing you to quickly sear in a smoky flavor and achieve a crisp, firm texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a chewy, non-soggy eggplant texture.
  • Those who want to make a quick, standout eggplant side dish with simple seasoning.
