As promised, here's a photo of deep fried eggplant cooked last night, my 3rd attempt.
Oil temp was just right, and I only lightly seasoned the eggplants. I didn't have flour so i used pancake mix, which was kind of a blessing in disguise because of the leavening agents already included in the mix.
Last attempt, I over-spiced the eggplants and the oil was too low temp because I was afraid to burn it.
I didn't have ponzu or dashi so I improvised with the dipping sauce by combining black vinegar, mirin, sesame oil and diced chili.
I also threw in 3 garlic cloves just to see how it tastes deep-fried; was not disappointed.
I would highly recommend anyone to try it out, it wasnt too much of a hassle and it goes well with cold noodles in the summer.
