Vegan fried eggplant. Any suggestions on the coating?

Question

My vegan son loves it , but when I make it for him the coating (a craker type coating) doesnt stick well to it. I have tried using the egg substitute and dunking it in soy milk, but still can get it right!

When I make it for the rest of the family, i use egg and then the coating, but I cant use the egg for his. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

this is how i make my eggplant parm: dunk eggplant in water, flour, water again, then bread crumbs. Then the best part, fry!!

Answer 2

This is what I use and it works really well.

Slice the eggplant. cover the it with flour. Dunk it in egg-substitute. then sunk it and cover it in breadcrumbs.



If you want it double battered, just dunk it again in the flour, then the egg-substitute, and then more breadcrumbs.

Fry it up in some Canola oil....yumm....I think I may make this for dinner actually....

Answer 3

If the crunchy coating does not stick to the eggplant then try dipping the eggplant into the mixture of the crunchy stuff, then frying it...Ive never tried it before...

Answer 4

I would just try drying it well, patting firmly with seasoned cornmeal or Japanese bread crumbs ("panko":  the coarse, crispy kind), and frying it in the olive oil or other oil of choice.

make a batter out of flour and water- dip the eggplant in and deep fry.
