Directions:

  1. Peel the eggplants, cut them lengthwise in quarters if they are large, and salt them to remove bitternes if necessary.
  2. Brush each side of the eggplant pieces with eggwhite to reduce the oil needed for frying.
  3. In a skillet, heat 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat.
  4. Add the onion and stir-fry for 10 minutes, until translucent.
  5. Add the eggplant and garlic and stir-fry 10 minutes longer, until all sides are lightly golden brown.
