Eggplant in Garlic Sauce

Give the cornstarch and water mixture a quick restir and add it in the middle of the pan, stirring quickly to thicken. Mix the sauce with the other ingredients and serve hot.
Note: This last step is optional. If you want, instead of adding the cornstarch slurry, you can finish off the dish by removing it from the heat and stirring in 1/2 teaspoon of Asian sesame oil.
