- Choose a firm, glossy eggplant for the best texture.
- Salt the eggplant and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes before cooking to draw out any excess moisture. This will help to avoid a mushy texture.
- Make sure the garlic is finely minced to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dish.
- Control the spice level by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
- Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for added variety and nutrition.
- Stir-fry the ingredients over medium-high heat to ensure a nice sear and to prevent the eggplant from becoming too soft.
- Adjust the seasoning at the end of cooking to suit your taste, especially the salt and soy sauce levels.
