Wash the eggplant thoroughly, remove the top and bottom ends, and slice it lengthwise into halves.

Cut the eggplant into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pan. Optionally, add sliced onions for extra flavor.

Heat the pan with a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat and stir-fry the eggplant until slightly softened. Avoid overcooking.

Mix all seasoning sauce ingredients in a bowl to create the sauce.

Add half of the sauce to the stir-fried eggplant and coat evenly.

Pour the remaining sauce over the eggplant and stir until evenly coated.

Simmer the eggplant over medium-low heat until the flavors are fully absorbed. Adjust seasoning with water or soy sauce as needed.
