I love aubergine and this can work as either a vegetarian main dish or a delicious side. This is my version of my mother's favourite Chinese dish.

Ingredients
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large aubergine, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp crushed chili flakes
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 vegetable or chicken stock cube
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (to garnish)
Needed kitchenware
