I’ve been craving something like a noodle bowl lately, so I decided to make one with aubergine and beef mince, using just one key ingredient: soy sauce. I just made this sauce up, but it was very delicious. I also got some leftover rice in the fridge, so I decided to make a rice bowl as well. We both prefer the rice bowl over noodles.

Ingredients

Beef mince
Aubergine, cut into bite-size chunks
Red onion, thinly sliced
Spring onion, chopped
Red chilli, chopped

Sauce

3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
½ tbsp sugar
½ tbsp plain flour

Method

1. In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a pan, add red onion, cook until fragrant.
3. Add the aubergine and a splash of water, cook until aubergine softens.
4. Add beef mince, stir fry until beef is cooked.
5. Add chilli and the sauce ingredients, mix well.
6. If the sauce is too dry or not enough for the noodles/rice, add another splash of water and cook for a couple of minutes.
7. Garnish with spring onion before serving.
