👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat the canola oil in a skillet over high heat.

Cook and stir the eggplant until soft, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the water, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder.

Cover and simmer until all the water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, mix sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and oyster sauce in a bowl until sugar and cornstarch have dissolved.

Stir sauce into the eggplant, making sure to evenly coat the eggplant.

Cook until the sauce has thickened.
