Time 25m

Yield Serves 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium aubergines , cut lengthways into 1cm strips
125ml vegetable oil
4 spring onions , thinly sliced diagonally
3 red chillies , deseeded and thinly sliced
3 tbsp black bean sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
handful coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Place the aubergine strips in a wok or frying pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, cook for 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat, drain and allow to cool before patting dry with kitchen paper. Dry the wok or pan. Heat the vegetable oil until a small piece of bread sizzles when placed in the oil, then add the cooled aubergine strips. Leave to cook for 5 mins until browned, taking care not to move the aubergine around too much or it will turn mushy.
  • Remove the aubergine from the pan and drain on kitchen paper. Pour away all but 1 tbsp of oil. Return the aubergine to the pan along with spring onions and chillies. Stir through the black bean and fish sauces, then cook for 2 mins. Serve warm or cold with the coriander leaves scattered over.
