Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make fried eggplant with soy sauce and garlic in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. I used refined sunflower oil, but olive oil for frying or other vegetable oil is also suitable. For information on how to choose the right oil, read the article, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the eggplants and dry. Cut off the tails. Cut the eggplants lengthwise into long slices about 5mm thick. Take eggplant that is dense, not limp, with elastic, shiny skin.

Step 3

Step 3
Sprinkle the eggplants with salt, place in a bowl and leave for 20 minutes. Then wipe off the salt with napkins. This is necessary to remove the bitterness from vegetables. Please note that in some cases there is no need to remove bitterness from eggplants — usually young vegetables, as well as some special varieties, are not bitter.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut the eggplants into long strips about 1 cm thick. If you wish, you can cut the vegetables into semicircles.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the garlic and finely chop it or pass it through a press. Rinse the parsley, shake off moisture and finely chop. If you wish, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, cilantro, dill, green onions, or use a mixture of different herbs.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the eggplants and fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. It is important to ensure that the eggplants become softer, but retain their shape and do not fall apart. For information on how to choose the perfect frying pan, see the link at the end of the recipe.

Step 7

Step 7
Pour soy sauce into the eggplants and add ground black pepper. If you wish, you can add other spices: utskho-suneli, hops-suneli, coriander or paprika.
