7. 7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated eggplant strips into the oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
8. 8. Remove the fried eggplant strips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
