Preparation Steps

Wash the Chinese eggplant thoroughly, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. Soak in salted water for about 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and a splash of water. Whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved.
Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add prepared eggplant and stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes until tender.
Pour the sauce over the eggplant and toss to coat. Continue stir-frying for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Reduce heat and let the dish simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding soy sauce or fresh chili if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds, alongside jasmine rice.
