THIS AUBERGINE. I don’t know what I can say to convince you just how incredible this sticky aubergine is, so you'll just have to believe me. It might not look like much, but the flavours are ridiculous. It’s beautifully sweet, with a warm heat from the chilli flakes, and a salty kick from the soy sauce. Ri.di.cu.lous.

Aubergine is always the first thing I look for on the menu at a Chinese restaurant - it goes so well in Chinese recipes, especially when it's cooked down in a sticky sauce like this.


It’s not a particularly saucy dish because the aubergine soaks up all the liquid, but it becomes so juicy and flavourful that you won’t miss the sauce. Make sure you top it with plenty of fresh coriander! It brings a great freshness to the dish.
