Without washing the pan, add appropriate spicy olive oil directly, and pan-fry the eggplant strips until golden and soft; since eggplant absorbs oil very quickly, pour a little more olive oil, otherwise it will burn.

Because eggplant absorbs oil very much, the oil amount must be sufficient, otherwise it will easily burn at the bottom.
