These little rounds of pan-fried Chinese Eggplant are packed with flavor. Seasonings like curry powder, garlic, and allspice elevate the humble eggplant to new flavor heights. Trust me, you are going to want to put these on everything.
For this recipe, we are using Chinese Eggplants. Chinese Eggplants are long and slender in shape and have a stunning purple outside. The color of these eggplants are truly beautiful.
The skin of the eggplant must be smooth and free of any spots that are discolored or soft. To the touch, the eggplant must be firm. You can tell an eggplant is old when the skin feels squishy and rubbery to the touch.
You can find Chinese Eggplants at your local Asian Supermarket.
Eggplants are known to be sponges and soak up a lot of oil once fried. By pan-frying instead of deep-frying you use much less oil and the eggplants come out less greasy.
We are using a variety of seasonings on these eggplant rounds such as ground cumin, allspice, curry powder, and turmeric to elevate the flavor profile of the humble eggplant. Eggplant take on season and flavors very well.
Here are 5 recipe ideas you can use these Pan-Fried Chinese Eggplants in:
Pizza Topping
Sandwiches
Wraps
As a side dish
Avocado Toast (as a fun topping)
