When cooking at home, people often fry eggplants until they turn black, or the fried eggplants contain too much oil. This is related to the pretreatment and heat of the eggplants. How to fry eggplants to absorb less oil? Brother Liu summed up four experiences for everyone:

1. Don’t peel the eggplants. When frying, the eggplants can absorb less oil.

2. Soak the eggplants in salt water before frying.

3. Coat the surface of the eggplant with a layer of dry starch and then fry it to absorb less oil and become golden in color.

4. Don’t fry eggplants over low heat, but over medium-high heat quickly. The shorter the frying time, the more fuel-efficient it will be.
