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.
