  Slice the eggplant into equal parts, approximately four inch stalks. Sprinkle with salt, mix, and let it sit for five minutes. You'll see the eggplant sweat. Pat dry or squeeze the eggplant with your hands to get all the water out.

  • ½ tsp salt (3 g)
• Step 2

  After the eggplant is completely dry, sprinkle cornstarch over it and toss or mix until the eggplant is evenly coated with a thin layer of cornstarch. Let it rest.

  In the meantime, mix the ingredients for the sauce.
