Sticky Ginger Aubergine
If you think you hate aubergines, think again, because this Sticky Ginger Aubergine recipe is hands down one of my favourite quick and easy dinner recipes!
Servings: 2 portions
Ingredients
- 1 large aubergine, sliced into 1cm discs
- cornflour, to coat the aubergine
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 4 tablespoon water (to lighten the sauce)
Instructions
- Begin by slicing your aubergine into 1cm discs.
- Coat your aubergine discs in cornflour and set them aside.
- Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add in a good glug of vegetable oil.
- Fry your coated aubergine in your pan for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Rinse out your frying pan and then place it back on the heat and drizzle with a bit of vegetable oil.
- Add in your garlic, ginger, spring onions, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Leave to simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Once the sauce has thickened, add back in your fried aubergines and simmer for a further 5 minutes, flipping them halfway through so that each side soaks up the sauce.
- Remove the aubergines and serve up with some rice or noodles. Drizzle the remaining sauce in the pan over the aubergines for extra juiciness. Enjoy!
