    This is.the best eggplant recipe I've ever made. We just inhaled this for dinner. The dressing is insanely flavorful. What I love about America's Test Kitchen recipes is, they use ingredients that are readily available at most markets. I was able to make this with ingredients I had on hand. For those interested, I air fried the eggplant. (tossed in good amount of veg oil first) It came out delicious. When I have more time, I will try the frying method. LOVED IT. Thanks, Dan and ATK.

      If your reason for not being able to use fish sauce is veganism than the fix is relative easy; there are plenty of pretty good vegan fish sauces around. You can probably find them in an asian supermarket or else online.

    In Thailand we never ever put ginger in our spicy salad, next time try lemongrass. Also, rice vinegar? We don't even use it in our cuisine that's from Japanese cuisine, we use white vinegar. You should call it an Asian-inspired spicy salad. Yes, they played it safe by calling it Thai 'inspired' but what's wrong with learning the right thing? All he did was putting a bunch of Asian ingredients in his crispy eggplant salad and call it Thai? He didn't even use Thai eggplant?!? Fish sauce, palm sugar, spicy salad, fried shallots, and cilantro are EVERYWHERE in South East Asia. Only his Thai chili and basil has anything to do with Thailand if that's the case then I could probably put Italian sausage in my Thai spicy salad and call it Italian-inspired spicy salad.
