Ingredients

For the aubergine

  • 1 aubergine
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic puree
  • 0.5 teaspoon miso paste white

To serve

  • 8 bao buns
  • 0.5 small cucumber
  • 8 radishes
  • 1 bunch coriander leaves only
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Begin by thinly slice your aubergine. I like to do mine in half moons as they fit in the bao buns really well.
  • Mix the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic puree and miso paste together then pour over the aubergine.
  • Toss the aubergine in the marinade then leave to sit for at least 1 hour.
  • Once the aubergine has marinated, place a non-stick pan on to a medium heat.
  • Add the aubergine slices to a pan and cook for 5 minutes either side, or until the aubergine is soft and the marinade has become sticky.
  • Cook in batches if needed, keeping the aubergine warm in an oven on low.
  • Steam your buns according to the packet's instructions or recipe if cooking from scratch.
  • Once steamed, stuff the buns with the aubergine and raw veggies.
  • Serve with coriander leaves and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
