  • Rinse off the salt under cold water and pat the eggplant dry with paper towels.
  • In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and rice vinegar.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant slices in batches until golden brown on all sides.
  • Lower the heat and add the sauce to the skillet, tossing to coat the eggplant pieces evenly.
  • Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
