Chef's Tips
For best flavor, use freshly ground black pepper.
You can also steam the eggplant if you prefer a softer texture.
Add a splash of rice vinegar or chili for extra punch.

Tried this with steamed eggplant instead of roasted—so soft and comforting! Loved how the oyster-soy sauce clung to everything.

Great weeknight recipe! I added some chili oil for a spicy kick and it was perfect over jasmine rice.

I didn’t have honey so I used brown sugar instead—still turned out delicious! Will try adding mushrooms next time.

This is the kind of healthy comfort food I crave after work. No frying, quick cleanup, and the flavor is spot on.
