Summer, tender, almost seedless and absolutely not bitter eggplants can become a delightful story if you fry them in pieces until crispy. The story is also mixed with starch breading , starch is more delicate than flour and from it the eggplants develop a thin, almost glassy crust, which keeps the juice inside and does not allow the pulp to soak in oil and become heavy. Then the story of fried eggplants can be developed in any direction of the world: if you serve them with tahini - then in Israeli, with baked tomatoes - in Turkish, and if with mint, cilantro, soy sauce and mirin, then in Asian. We chose the latter option and enhanced the crunch, complementing the crispy eggplants with crushed peanuts.
