– When you don’t love aubergine, you may use mushrooms or tofu as an alternative.
– Soba noodles are produced from buckwheat which is of course gluten-free. However at all times verify the bundle if you’re illiberal as there are lots of manufacturers who combine wheat and buckwheat.
– The marinade does not have any acidic ingredient, which I truly desire within the recipe, however you may addd a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice if you need.
1. Minimize the aubergine in dices and add to a well-oiled pan on medium warmth, together with a pinch of salt. You need them to shrink in measurement and get colour on the edges, it takes round 6-8 minutes. Toss and stir every so often to forestall them from sticking to the pan, and add extra oil if wanted.
2. In the meantime, stir collectively the marinade in a small bowl. It ca be just a little difficult to get the miso to dissolve, I usually use the bottom of a teaspoon to mash it up and the use a whisk to get it clean.
3. Prepare dinner the noodles in accordance with packet directions. When achieved, rinse them in chilly water. That is vital to get the starches off in order that they don’t develop into sticky and cloggy.
4. Minimize the broccoli into skinny stalks and coarsely chop the spring onion.
5. When the aubergine seems to be achieved, scooch them right into a bowl and add the broccoli, spring onions, half a garlic clove and half of the chili to the pan. Char both sides of the broccoli for only a minute or two.
6. Pour the aubergine again in and add half of the marinade. Stir round.
7. Add the noodles (we like a excessive filling-to-noodle-ratio so begin with 2/3 of the noodles and preserve the remainder as backup so as to add in if wanted) and a handful spinach and take it off the warmth. Give it a toss and plate on two bowls. Prime with sesame seeds, coriander, the remainder of the chili and a drizzle of the remaining marinade.
8. Take pleasure in!
