Steps

1

Slice the eggplant and zucchini into rounds. Soak the eggplant in water. Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
2

Heat olive oil in a pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the bacon and cook.
3

Add the eggplant and zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté thoroughly.
4

If you get carried away flipping the pan, the zucchini might slide out. If you quickly put it back, it's all good.
5

Add the ingredients marked with ◯ and let it simmer. Meanwhile, boil water for the pasta.
6

When the sauce is thick enough to leave a trail when you drag a spatula through it, add the oyster sauce. This is key. Check on the pasta.
7

Mix the cooked pasta with the sauce.
8

Plate and serve!
