Solo Cooking God Eggplant Tongsu
A budget-friendly, crispy-on-the-outside, juicy-on-the-inside eggplant tongsu that's easy to make by tossing eggplant with egg and tempura flour in a plastic bag, then frying it in oil and stir-frying it in a tangy-sweet sauce.

Cooking tips
- Always mix the eggplant and egg first inside the plastic bag before adding the dry ingredients to ensure the batter sticks evenly and stays intact, resulting in lasting crispiness.
- For a 'dipping' style instead of 'eating with sauce', fry the eggplant separately, then sauté the vegetables and sauce alone and serve them on the side.
- Clean the pan thoroughly after frying to remove all residual oil so the sauce won't taste greasy and maintains its clean, tangy-sweet flavor.
Recommended for
- Those who don't usually enjoy eggplant due to its soft texture but want to try a delicious, crunchy alternative.
- People who want to make a fancy tongsu dish easily without touching dough or flour—just using a plastic bag.
