I am newly vegan and my dad has requested I make eggplant parm next week, which requires you to dip the eggplant in egg before frying it. What would be a good substitute for the egg?
blended silken tofu works as an egg substitute for things like french toast and would probably work for eggplant parm too. I would look it up on vegweb.com, though, to find some tested recipes.
What is a vegan substitute for an egg bath when you are frying foods?

you can use chickpea flour (besan) that’s yellow in color too. Available in any indian/asian store.

I would try Ener-g Egg replacer, you can usually find it in a health food store. It’s a powder that you mix with water and it works as a binding ingredient like eggs do. Maybe dip it in the egg replacer then dip in flour or bread crumbs; I don’t know if it would be good with just the egg replacer alone. I wouldn’t use tofu, I think it would be too heavy, but honestly I’ve never tried, I usually just use the egg replacer. Hope this helps!
