• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or deep, straight-sided saucepan and set over medium heat to 365°F to 375°F.
• While the oil is heating, wash the eggplant well, rinsing each piece in cold water to remove the salt and any brown liquid that has exuded.
• Place 2 moist eggplant slices in the flour mixture and coat evenly and completely, shaking off any excess. Dip each slice into the egg mixture and then into the panko mixture, making sure to coat completely. Carefully place the eggplant slices into the preheated oil, one at a time, without overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is nicely browned, turn with tongs, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the other side is browned. Remove and drain them on the paper-towel-lined platter. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, working in batches of no more than 2 pieces at a time.
