@@ThydaCookingTV Getting her family and friends to eat more vegetables means coating the vegetables with panko, deep frying and then slathering in sugar syrup. Yes, really healthy. :(( I think I'd rather eat a raw carrot.

[@juliek7650]

I watch Master Chef every season. How did I not put two and two together!!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

I just stumbled onto your channel recently as well, and I went ahead and subscribed so I can see more and more. I like how low-key and quiet you are, how gracefully your videos unfold, and by the by? That Sichuan style shepherd's pie is magnificent--I made it the other night and WOW. That meat sauce alone will be used for other things in the future, for sure. I'm glad I started watching your videos now, and keep up the good work, Miss Marion!

[@KB-pk6nb]

Anything deep fried is delicious and I especially love the combination of sweet, crunch, salt and spicy. Yummy for my tummy 😋

[@luluvega9901]

i used to say i didnt like eggplant... but when i ate this sweet dish, i fell in love with eggplant

[@yvonnea4037]

Definitely making this... my kids will love it. Thanks for sharing this with us

[@Lunacris6]

Your recipes are always amazing and simple!! ^^ Would it be possible to make the eggplant in the oven instead of frying it? Or would it get soggy?

[@AlohaGurl]

Marion makes her food look so deelish! Makes you want to go & cook it right now. Must taste so delicious. Marion is an awesome cook. Love her mama, Noi too.

[@ryuichiro.sakuraba]

Ooooh. Fried eggplant is always great; the crispy breading just takes it further. Seems like this is a nice thing to do with tofu cubes too~

[@brianwall2182]

My 6-yr-old daughter said she wanted to try eggplant. Last time I made eggplant (10+ years ago) it was a flop. But this recipe... this was a hit! I was a little nervous about the soy sauce, but what a combo! Thanks for the great recipe.

[@SK-tk5lc]

Love your color palettes and close-up food shots, Marion!!

[@tomsparks6099]

This came out fabulous. One (male -- less seeds) eggplant was enough for four of us as an appetizer -- we just picked at it with wooden skewers. The honey soy was a great sauce.

[@unrelatedpopcornfire]

Wow! I love eggplant and this looks absolutely delicious! Will definitely try

[@LukaWillems]

nice choice of food I Love your recipe for your cooking.

[@anjula9110]

I first saw this in your FB page and saved it. Today I made it and half drizzled with sticky honey sauce and rest I had without lunch..both my hubby and MIL loved them...exactly as you said, they too agreed that people who don't eat eggplant would be finger-licking this dish. Thanks a million Marion....Lots of love from India and SL :) (I'm Sri Lankan living in India :D )

[@rossmail5924]

Marion, I'd love to learn how to better look after deep fry oil so can reuse. How long before you dispose of it? Yours always looks super clean and new.

[@tashsaysmeow]

Use a coffee filter to filter the oil after its been used and cooled down. Throw it out of it starts to taste stale or it has an odor. I keep old empty oil bottles to store the reused oil in there. I also write on the bottle what the oil was used for so I know of its suitable for vegetarian meals or if it was used for something with a strong flavour like fish.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Natasha Dohnt I do the same. The only thing, if I used the oil for frying fish or chicken, I usually stick the bottle in the fridge. In that way it stays fresh longer.

[@maheentza]

Simply awesome ;Love it .

[@mocheeism]

I tried this recipe today but with Airfryer. Works Beautifully!! but i decrease the vinegar a little but as this is to feed my kids. I really wish O can share pictures. It looks good and crispy!

[@seanobrien4762]

Oh my goodness that was amazing!!! Will made again!!

[@margaretcole3244]

Thank you for fixing the music. Perfect.

[@g.gregorio8644]

A simple recipe I would try! A little adjustment: I would serve the sauce as a dipping sauce instead of drizzling that, so the eggplant would remain really crispy and not become soggy.

[@ren1134]

I made this today and I took my time eating it and the eggplant never lost its crispness even though I drizzled sauce on it. It's really really good

[@Loiichi]

Love when Marion pulls out the molcajete!

[@mango_kerapu]

Loves eggplants❤️ thanks

[@foodiliciousbysupi]

I have become your huge fan... My everynight routine is to watch your recipies before sleep... I have just started exploring thai food becoz of u.

This is a winner!!! I only have orange marmalade so I used about a tablespoon or so, in place of honey and surprise!…turned out to taste like tamarind which is by the way my fave!😋 eggplant stays crisp even after a couple of hours but I think everything will be gone in a couple of minutes haha! so soooo gooooood!👌

[@ren06yamapi]

Hi Marion! Just wanna say I love your channel so much and thank for all your amazing recipes! Every time I want to make something new, I always check your channel for inspiration! Btw, I think the panko breadcrumbs you're using is the one with the yellow packaging if I'm correct? That brand tends to have really big chunks of crumbs so I stopped using it a few years ago and switch to a brand called Yutaka. It's much finer as it is so no need for that extra step of pounding it yourself. They're also really common in asian supermarkets so you'll probably be able to find it easily :)

[@ummayed2009]

I have an eggplant and didn't know what to do with it thank you I will be making this

[@monifa3605]

Love eggplants!! I dont know about the sweet sauce but you never know until you try it, right? It looks delicious as always!! 💕

[@sarahbrown5373]

Salting the eggplant has nothing to do with bitterness. It's a process of getting the extra moisture in the eggplant to weep so that you can dry it down with a paper towel. That prevents it from having too much moisture, and results in crispier eggplant.
