Eggplant Braised Noodles

Writer: Emily YeoEmily Yeo

Lately, I’ve turned to posting quite a few “home-style” dishes. I recently ate an eggplant dish out at a restaurant and I wanted to try to recreate it. It was so flavourful. Well, this is my rendition of that dish, and I have to say I like mine more. Less oil, but plenty of flavour. This vegan braised eggplant noodles with 'minced pork' (肉沫茄子) is another one of those easy dishes that you might see on the table at your parents’ or grandparents’ house!



Eggplants are quite the unique fruit (yes, it is a fruit due it to its edible seeds). Because it is more bitter and savory than I would imagine a fruit would be. It is (and should be) an essential in most households as there are a lot of delicious ways of cooking and preparing it.



It’s a bit of a common misconception that eggplant is terribly tricky to cook right. It’s true that eggplant can end up awfully bland, firm, or greasy when cooked wrong. However, with the proper methods, you’ll never have to worry about that again. In this recipe, by the time the eggplant has been stir-fried and almost “braised” in the sauce, it’s tender enough to practically melt in your mouth. Plus, it is still packed with sweet, savoury, and umami-rich flavour.


IF YOU EVER GIVE THIS RECIPE A TRY, DO LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW AND/OR TAG @FRUITYEMZ AND HASHTAG #FRUITYEMZ ON YOUR INSTAGRAM POST! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL YOUR YUMMY CREATIONS 🙂
