Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 large potato peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
  • 0.5 green pepper cut into bite sized pieces
  • 0.5 red pepper cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 medium aubergine cut into bite sized pieces
  • 4 spring onions sliced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic roughly 3-4 cloves
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
  • 4 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 8 tbsp water optional
  • 1 tbsp cornflour optional

Instructions

  • Heat the sesame oil in a wok.
  • When the wok is piping hot, add in the potato and fry for 8-10 minutes until browned and softened.
  • Add in the peppers and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring the vegetables regularly to make sure they don't stick.
  • Next add the aubergines and cover your wok with a lid before turning the heat down slightly and cooking for another 4-5 minutes (stirring half way through).
  • If at any point the vegetables are sticking and the pan is dry, add another tablespoon of oil. 
  • Add the spring onions, garlic, Shaoxing rice wine, and soy sauce to the pan and stir.
  • Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until all of the vegetables are coated in the sauce.
  • (Optional) If you want the dish a little more wet and saucy, mix the water and cornflour, add to the pan and cook on high until the sauce is your desired consistency.
