Cooking Instructions and Tips

Bake the Aubergine
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

Halve the aubergine lengthways, keeping the stem attached. Score the flesh deeply in a criss-cross pattern, taking care not to cut through the skin.

Pop the aubergine halves, skin-side down, onto a large lined baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.

Once the oven is hot, roast the aubergine on the top shelf until golden and tender, 25-28 mins.

Make your Miso Sauce
2

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the miso paste, honey and half the ketjap manis. Set aside your miso sauce. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.

Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Glaze the Aubergine
3

When the aubergine has 12-14 mins remaining, remove from the oven and spread 1 tbsp of the miso sauce over each aubergine half. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.

Return to the oven for the remaining time, 12-14 mins.

Finish the Sauce
4

Meanwhile, juice half the lime and cut the other half into wedges.

Stir the lime juice from the lime half, sesame oil and remaining ketjap manis into the miso sauce.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the sliced pepper and savoy cabbage. Stir-fry until softened and slightly charred, 5-6 mins.

Bring on the Udon
5

Add the reserved miso sauce and udon noodles to the pan. Use a fork to gently separate the noodles, then toss together to coat the noodles in the sauce.

Stir-fry for a further 2-3 mins, then remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. 

Serve Up
6

Share the udon noodles between your serving bowls and lay the miso glazed aubergine on top.

Sprinkle over the peanuts and serve any remaining lime wedges on the side for squeezing over. 

Enjoy!
