Video Crispy Eggplant Salad with Spicy Sauce
Explore this delectable recipe featuring eggplant and tomatoes! Start by slicing the eggplant and letting it sit with salt to remove moisture. Once ready, coat the slices in cornstarch and fry them to a golden perfection in vegetable oil. For a flavorful kick, mix together chili sauce, narsharab sauce, and soy sauce for the dressing. Assemble your dish with crispy eggplant and diced tomatoes, then drizzle with the dressing. Finish it off with fresh cilantro, basil, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It’s a vibrant and delicious experience!
