Cut the eggplants, potatoes, and peppers into large bite-size pieces.
Fry the potatoes in oil for 6 minutes, then remove.
Fry the eggplant in the same oil for 5 minutes.
Toss the peppers for 2 minutes and set the vegetables aside.
Fry the garlic in a wok for 30 seconds.
Add the soy sauce, sugar, starch, and water, then cook the sauce until glossy.
Coat the vegetables with the sauce in the wok and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Fry the eggplant over high heat before saucing it; this keeps it glossy and prevents it from collapsing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with steamed rice and plain cucumber.
