Prepping egg plants

prep eggplant

Peel egg plant (watch the video for more info), half them lengthways, cut each half into 3-4 long pieces (depending on the size of egg plant) and cut each piece into large chunks / triangular pieces.

Salting egg plants

salt eggplant

Transfer to a bowl, add salt, toss well and set aside for 45 minutes to an hour, so it releases water (approx. 3 tablespoons). Do not skip this step as it ensures that the egg plants turn out crispy.

dry and coat eggplant

Transfer the egg plants to a towel and pat dry to remove any moisture on them. Transfer to a bowl, add tapioca flour and toss until evenly coated.

prepare sauce

Take soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, sugar in a bowl, combine them well and set aside.

Air frying eggplants

air fry eggplant

Pre-heat the airfryer at 170C and brush the basket with oil. Add the coated eggplants, brush with oil and air fry at 170C for 12-13 minutes till they are cooked well. Airfry at 200C for 3 minutes till they turn crisp from the outside. Do not remove them when they are too hot as they stick to the basket and peel off. Cool them a bit, remove from the airfryer and transfer to a plate.

cook with sauce

Heat a pan with oil, add garlic, ginger & saute on high for a few seconds till fragrant. Add sauce mix & cook for 1-2 minutes till it boils. Add air fried egg plants and toss for a minute till the sauce coats the egg plants. Top with basil leaves, red chillies & sesame seeds.
