This is a Filipino-favorite dish. It is an eggplant meal cooked “tempura” style. They are thinly sliced Japanese eggplants, dipped in tempura batter, large ‘Panko’ breadcrumbs and deep fried for a few sizzling minutes in hot oil. For a manageable meal on a hot summer day, I used the open burner on our outdoor grill to cook this. On colder days, I cook tempura indoors, stove top. For a terrific tempura batter, I adapted the recipe of my good friend, Namiko from her blog “Just One Cookbook”…
