Oooh this has given me lots to think about and thanks for sharing your experiences about growing up in Ambon. We are a long way from the coast and when pandemic lockdowns started I stocked up on salt so I could continue fermenting as much as possible! Apparently inland coconut trees also do well with a good fertilizing of salt. I’ve watched our cow try to knock over and then lick the mud from termite mounds and have wondered whether, apart from possible essential minerals, the mounds may also have some small concentration of salts....
I’ve never tried the partial drying but will keep it in mind, thanks always for the lovely ideas and inspiration! ❤️
What are some of your other favorite ways to ferment eggplant that don’t involve oil?
As someone who eats raw eggplant from my garden on the regular I’m super excited to try it fermented!

You should write about nukazuke - the rice bran fermented pickles. Readers would find it interesting.
