Detailed Cooking Steps for Fried Green Round Eggplant (Crispy and Economical, Comparable to KFC and McDonald’s)
A recipe for crispy fries similar to KFC and McDonald’s. The cooking process is simple. Mix about 300-400g of flour with 2 egg whites, add seasonings like salt, chicken essence, soy sauce, and other preferred ingredients. Add warm water (50-60°C) with yeast, stir clockwise until well mixed. Let the batter ferment for about half an hour until a honeycomb pattern forms on top.
For the final step (cutting the eggplant too early will lose freshness), slice the eggplant to a thickness of 1.5-2mm (too thin will be mushy, too thick won’t fry well and won’t taste good). Circular shapes are recommended (oval shapes tend to be too large and get mushy). It’s time to heat the oil (｀˘ω˘) Heat the oil to medium heat (about 60% hot) and add the sliced eggplant to the batter, then fry in the oil (be patient with low heat). Fry until golden brown, then remove from the oil and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy the crispy and delicious snack (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
For the crispiest texture, it’s recommended to consume within 1-2 hours.
