Prepare the Eggplants:
Start by making the fan cuts on the eggplants. Hold an eggplant at its stem and slice it lengthwise into thin strips, being careful not to cut all the way through; the slices should remain attached at the stem.
Repeat this process with all the eggplants.
Brine the Eggplants:
Dissolve 2 tablespoons of salt in 3 liters of water in a large bowl.
Submerge the fan-cut eggplants in the salty water. This helps to remove any bitterness from the eggplants and keeps them firm.
