Kim Jin-soon's Stir-fried Eggplant

Stir-fried eggplant that is chewy, not mushy, by salting vegetables with salt and starch syrup

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding starch syrup with salt creates an osmotic effect that draws out moisture quickly, making the vegetables chewy.
  • Stir-frying too long makes eggplant soft and mushy, so stir-fry quickly over high heat.

Recommended for

  • Those who avoided eggplant dishes because of its mushy texture.
  • Those who want to make a chewy and spicy side dish that rivals meat.
