Ingredients

  • 1 large aubergine, or 2 medium, cut into long batons
  • 100g green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, cut into thick half-moons
  • 1 red chilli, halved, deseeded and thinly sliced

For the sauce

Method

  • STEP 1

    Put the aubergine in a bowl of lightly salted water and stand for 30 mins to soften. Drain and pat dry. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 1 min then drain, rinse in cold water and drain again.

  • STEP 2

    To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

  • STEP 3

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, cook the aubergine pieces until nicely browned on all sides – don’t turn them too early, let them get a nice colour first. When they start to brown, add the onion and chilli, and keep stir-frying for 4 mins or until soft.

  • STEP 4

    Add the sauce and green beans, cover with a lid, lower the heat and simmer for 2 mins or until the aubergine is soft. Serve with rice.
