- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines
- vegetables or groundnut oil
- 100g dried medium egg noodles
- sesame oil
- 2 spring onions, shredded
- a handful coriander, chopped
SWEET SOY SAUCE
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped plus extra to serve if you like
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- walnut-sized piece ginger, finely grated
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
Method
- STEP 1
Mix all the sauce ingredients together and leave to sit while you cook the aubergine.
- STEP 2
Cut the aubergines into thick batons. Put in a bowl and toss with 1 tbsp oil and a good sprinkling of salt.
- STEP 3
Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Add the aubergine and dry fry on a medium/low heat until golden and completely tender and cooked through. Don’t be tempted to add any extra oil as this will make the finished dish too greasy.
- STEP 4
Cook the noodles following the packet instructions. Drain and toss with a few drops of sesame oil then divide between two shallow bowls. Add the sweet soy mix to the aubergine pan and let it bubble up for a couple of minutes.
- STEP 5
Spoon the aubergine and sauce over the noodles then finish with a sprinkle of spring onion, coriander and extra chilli if you like.
