Step 2:
Wash and dry the eggplant. Cut the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices.
Step 3:
Add salt to the resulting plates and leave for 15 minutes. Lightly squeeze the eggplants from excess moisture. I didn't wash the eggplants from salt. Because the filling turned out not very salty.
Step 4:
Fry the eggplants in vegetable oil on both sides until golden brown.

Put the finished eggplants on a plate. Cool.
Step 6:

Roll the eggplant into a roll. Prepare all the other rolls in the same way.

How to remove the bitterness from eggplant? Cut the eggplant into plates, circles or cubes, add salt, leave for about 10 minutes until the juice is released. Drain the resulting liquid, rinse the eggplants and start cooking.

Note that in some cases there is no need to remove the bitterness from the eggplants - usually young vegetables are not bitter, as well as some special varieties of them.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
