Brilio.net - Eggplant is often served with rice to complement various side dishes and vegetables typical of the house. Usually, eggplant is processed by stir-frying, frying, or steaming. However, fried eggplant seems to be a favorite among other dishes, because it can be served as a side dish or snack.
The deliciousness of fried eggplant is not only measured by its savory taste, but also by the resulting crispy texture. Although it is crispy, many people feel that the fried eggplant they made failed because it absorbed too much oil. Therefore, various tricks for processing fried eggplant are widely shared on social media.
One common way is to mix wheat flour with other types of flour, such as rice flour. However, there is also an interesting trick from a netizen known as Diah. In a video uploaded to the YouTube account Pawone Diah, she revealed that she only uses one type of flour, but the fried eggplant she produces remains crispy, long-lasting, and not oily.
"A special snack made from simple ingredients that is crispy and long-lasting, addictive," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Pawone Diah on Thursday (12/9).
First, wash and cut the eggplants first. Next, to make the eggplants tastier and not wilt quickly, soak them in salt water for about 15 minutes. Diah said that if soaked like this, the eggplants will not turn brown quickly.

While soaking the eggplant, you can prepare the flour and seasoning mixture. Prepare two bowls, one filled with the seasoning flour mixture, while the other is filled with the seasoning solution water. You can use seasonings such as garlic, powdered broth, salt, pepper, and coriander.
After soaking the eggplant in salt water for 15 minutes, remove and rinse thoroughly. Then, dip the eggplant in the seasoned water, then dip it in the seasoned flour. Do this process one more time so that the fried eggplant will be crispier.

Once done, prepare a frying pan filled with enough oil and heat it over high heat. When the oil is really hot, add the eggplant that has been coated in flour. Fry until half cooked, then reduce the heat of the stove to high heat.
Well, said Diah, this frying trick can make the flour that covers the curly eggplant, crispier, and also does not absorb much oil. Don't forget to turn the eggplant over so that it cooks evenly. When it is golden brown, remove and drain the eggplant.
