Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large or 2 smaller aubergines , cut into 2.5cm chunks
1 large onion , cut into half moons
2 garlic cloves , thinly sliced
1 red chilli , thinly sliced
small pack coriander
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp Chinese black or red wine vinegar
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 tsp cornflour , dissolved into 2 tbsp water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients. Heat a large frying pan and pour in 1 tbsp of the oil. Season the aubergine and brown on all sides until soft (you may need to add another 1 tbsp oil as they cook) - this will take about 15 mins. Set aside.
  • Pour the remaining oil into a wok. Add the onion and garlic, and stir-fry for 3-4 mins on a low heat until the onion is soft and the garlic golden. Add the aubergine and pour the sauce over. Stir together, turn the heat down to low and cover with a lid for 2 mins. Take the lid off and stir-fry again for 1 min more. Serve with chilli slices and coriander sprinkled over.

HOT AND SOUR EGGPLANT

You can serve this as a vegan main dish on top of cooked grains or as a side dish. I like it on the side with some fried rice loaded with vegetables and some grilled chicken. Other vegetables, like colored peppers and chunks of onion, can be added. The secret is the sauce. If your eggplants are not young and tender, peel them first.
