Step by Step guide
Step 1
Peel the eggplant, cut it into 2 cm cubes, and coat them in cornstarch.
Step 2
In a pot, heat vegetable oil to 356°F. Add the eggplant cubes and fry for 3 minutes, stirring to ensure all sides are evenly cooked. Remove the eggplant pieces with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel layered in several folds to absorb excess oil.
Step 3
Cut the tomatoes into pieces of the same size. Place them in a bowl along with the eggplants. Mix the cheese with the milk until smooth and add it to the salad.
Step 4
Season with salt and add sweet chili sauce.
Step 5
Divide the salad into two plates, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro and quenelles of goat cheese.
