Ingredients

  • 270g packet soba noodles

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 large eggplant, trimmed and cut into 1cm dice

  • 3 tbsp white miso

  • 4 tbsp mirin

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 3 tbsp cooking sake

  • crunchy chilli oil, to serve

  • sliced spring onions, to serve

Method

  1. Step 1

    Place a frying pan over medium heat. Add the oils and once hot, add the eggplant and cook, stirring regularly, until the eggplant has cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to the boil and cook the noodles according to packet instructions.

  3. Step 3

    Add the miso, mirin, honey and sake to a small bowl and whisk with a fork. Pour over the eggplant and cook for another minute until it coats the eggplant thoroughly.

  4. Step 4

    Strain the noodles and divide between bowls. Top immediately with the eggplant, scooping over any residual sauce (there won’t be much). Add a spoon or two of crunchy chilli oil, scatter with onion and serve.
