  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Cut the eggplants lengthways. Sprinkle some salt and leave aside for ten minutes. Drain, wash and make criss cross slits on the inside of the eggplants. Brush a little oil and bake in the preheated oven for fifteen to twenty minutes or until the eggplants are cooked. Remove from the oven and cool.
  2. Soak soya granules in two cups of hot water for twenty minutes. Drain and squeeze out extra water. Scoop eggplants with a spoon without tearing the skin. Chop scooped out portion and set aside. Heat chilli oil in a wok or a pan, add garlic and stir fry for half a minute. Add green chilli and spring onions and cook for a minute on medium heat.
  3. Add soya granules, chopped eggplant, soy sauce, MSG and salt. Stir fry for two to three minutes or until the moisture has evaporated. Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and stuff the eggplant shells. Dust them with flour and set aside. Mix cornflour, eggs, salt and whisk to make a smooth and thick batter. Heat sufficient oil in a flat pan, dip stuffed eggplant in the cornflour batter and shallow fry on medium heat for two to three minutes or until crisp and golden brown turning once carefully. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
