Ginger Noodles with Hoisin Eggplant and Chicken

Ginger Noodles with Hoisin Eggplant and Chicken

Posted 2015-09-02 by finyfollow

I have made this dish before when I have had left over rice, and it has interesting ingredients mixed together in an unusual recipe.

I was first given this recipe by a friend of mine who is a chef, and who works in a restaurant - he said he varies what goes into it, and that you could leave out the chicken if you wanted vegetarian. However I find it rather bland without the chicken, so I left it in this time.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 small eggplant, cut into slices
Up to 100 g noodles -I used wholewheat
1½ tbsp hoisin sauce
50 g [link http://reviewclue.com.au/fresh-bean-shoots-by-farmland-greens/ bean shoots]
4 spring onions, finely sliced
¼ Wombok -Chinese cabbage
Juice one lime
Coriander
1 - 2 tsp ginger -I used the jar variety

Method
  • You can either make this on the barbecue (gives it a nice flavour) or in a frypan - I WAS going to barbecue however it was too cold to go outside!

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half, rub some oil onto them, and add salt and pepper.

  • Cook on barbecue or in frypan for about 3 minutes each side, and then take out of frypan or barbecue.

  • Chop all the vegetables up, shredding the cabbage finely.


  • Put some oil on the sliced eggplant and cook or barbecue this for about 5 minutes on each side. Brush each piece with the hoisin sauce and cook for another few minutes or until it becomes soft.


  • Meanwhile, cook your noodles as per packet instructions, putting the bean sprouts in about 30 seconds before turning off the heat.


  • Drain and mix with the remaining ingredients, apart from some of the spring onions which will be used to garnish.
  • Add salt and pepper if desired


  • Put this on to individual plates or bowls.


  • Put the chicken and eggplant on top and add the remaining spring onions.
