Let the eggplant cooldown and then peel the skin off using your fingers. The inside part of the eggplant should be steamed just right at this point.

Beat the egg in a bowl and add salt and pepper. Continue beating until the salt and pepper are well blended.

Dip the eggplant in the egg mixture.

Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil gets hot, start to fry one side of the eggplant until it gets medium brown.
