Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons of hot and sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Several sprigs of cilantro
- Salt
Instructions:
Slice the eggplants lengthwise, sprinkle them with salt, and let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out any bitterness. Afterward, rinse them thoroughly and pat them dry.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggplants until they turn golden brown.
In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, lemon juice, and the chili sauce. Place the mixture on the stove, bring it to a boil, and add finely chopped garlic.
Add the fried eggplants to the sauce and let them simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Arrange the vegetables on a serving plate, drizzle them with the remaining sauce from the skillet, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Enjoy your meal!
