Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing your eggplant into bite-sized pieces, ensuring each piece is thick enough to absorb the sauce.
  2. Sprinkle the sliced eggplants generously with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes.
  3. After 20 minutes, rinse the salted eggplants under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and rice vinegar until well combined.
  5. In a skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and fry eggplant pieces until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked eggplants and toss gently to coat, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
