Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking eggplants in salted water removes their natural bitterness and firms up the texture, improving the overall mouthfeel in cooking.
  • When coating eggplants with cornstarch and frying, avoid overcooking—just enough to cook the starch so they don’t become soggy or mushy when added to the juk.
  • Replace butter with olive oil to enjoy this dish as a perfect plant-based (vegan) meal.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve a special and healthy meal using fresh summer eggplants.
  • People seeking a thoughtfully prepared juk with diverse textures and rich mushroom aroma.
