How to cook it
-
Grill or broil the eggplants whole over a flame or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is fully charred and the flesh is soft, about 10 minutes.
-
Let the eggplants cool slightly, then peel away the charred skin, keeping the stem attached.
-
Flatten each eggplant gently with a fork, keeping it in one piece.
-
Beat the eggs with the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
-
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Dip a flattened eggplant into the beaten egg, coating both sides well, then lay it in the hot pan.
-
Cook until the egg is golden and set on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook the other side until set, about 2 minutes more.
-
Repeat with the remaining eggplant and egg, and serve hot over the jasmine rice.
