Kim Jin-soon's Crunchy Eggplant Stir-fry

A pork and eggplant stir-fry that eliminates sogginess by salting with starch syrup and salt, creating a chewy, crunchy texture.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Salting with starch syrup uses osmotic pressure to efficiently draw out moisture from the eggplant, maximizing the chewy texture.
  • Squeeze the salted eggplant as firmly as possible to prevent water from releasing during cooking and to help the seasoning absorb well.

Recommended for

  • Those who avoided eggplant dishes because of the mushy texture.
  • Those who want a side dish with a crunchy, chewy texture and savory, salty umami flavor.
