Recipe Notes:

– In the event you do not like aubergine, you possibly can use mushrooms or tofu as a substitute.
– Soba noodles are produced from buckwheat which is of course gluten-free. However all the time verify the package deal in case you are illiberal as there are lots of manufacturers who combine wheat and buckwheat.

– The marinade would not have any acidic ingredient, which I really desire within the recipe, however you possibly can addd a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice in order for you.  

1. Minimize the aubergine in dices and add to a well-oiled pan on medium warmth, together with a pinch of salt. You need them to shrink in measurement and get coloration on the perimeters, it takes round 6-8 minutes. Toss and stir once in a while to stop them from sticking to the pan, and add extra oil if wanted.

2. In the meantime, stir collectively the marinade in a small bowl. It ca be a bit difficult to get the miso to dissolve, I usually use the bottom of a teaspoon to mash it up and the use a whisk to get it easy.
3. Cook dinner the noodles in response to packet directions. When completed, rinse them in chilly water. That is vital to get the starches off so that they don’t turn into sticky and cloggy.

4. Minimize the broccoli into skinny stalks and coarsely chop the spring onion.

5. When the aubergine seems completed, scooch them right into a bowl and add the broccoli, spring onions, half a garlic clove and half of the chili to the pan. Char either side of the broccoli for only a minute or two.
6. Pour the aubergine again in and add half of the marinade. Stir round.
7. Add the noodles (we like a excessive filling-to-noodle-ratio so begin with 2/3 of the noodles and hold the remaining as backup so as to add in if wanted) and a handful spinach and take it off the warmth. Give it a toss and plate on two bowls. Prime with sesame seeds, coriander, the remainder of the chili and a drizzle of the remaining marinade.
8. Take pleasure in!
