Awesome Three-Ingredient Deep-Fried Eggplant

I've only ever had this at Mei Sum Dim Sum Restaurant.  It's my favorite eggplant dish, but I've never been able to find a recipe.  So I had to make one up.

I added "Awesome" to the title because that's what Landon said about it.

As always with eggplant, I soaked sliced eggplant in salted water for about an hour.  You can go shorter, but I took Kai to the dog park before cooking.

Pat dry and dredge in corn starch with fried garlic mixed in (plus salt to taste).  Then fry.

This is the fried garlic that I used.

I don't like deep frying because of the mess so I rarely do it, but this came out really good.  Do you think air frying would work?
