Deliciously satisfying Chili Garlic Eggplant Noodles that are super flavourful and really umami. The eggplant here gives it that nice added texture too but you can also opt to add other vegetables of your choice!

You can make these noodles and enjoy this bowl in less than 30 minutes! It’s also good for 2 servings so you can whip this up to have for some weekday meals. I used wheat noodles for this one but you can opt to use noodles of your choice.

You’ll find the recipe for these noodles down below.

Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 small chinese eggplants or eggplant of choice (300g total)
  • 120g uncooked wheat noodles or noodles of choice
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp szechuan peppercorns (I crushed mine), feel free to use regular black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fermented black beans or black bean garlic sauce
  • 1 tbsp fermented chili broad bean paste or doubanjiang
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 to 1 tbsp soy sauce or to taste
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch diluted in 1 1/2 tbsp room temp. water
  • 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce optional for colour
  • Chili garlic sauce optional for more spice, homemade recipe here
  • Chopped green onions for topping

Instructions
 

  • Slice the eggplants into batons, around 3 inches in length and 1 inch thick.
  • In a pot, heat enough water to cook noodles. Once it boils, add in the noodles and cook until half-cooked and chewy. Remove from the water and set aside.
  • Heat a large pan over medium high. Add in the sesame oil. Once hot, add in the onion. Sauté over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for a minute until aromatic. Add in the szechuan pepper (if using), black beans, chili bean paste, and bell pepper. Leave to cook for 2 minutes until bell pepper is tender.
  • Add eggplant into the pan with the bell pepper mix. Leave eggplant to cook over medium high heat until tender, around 6 minutes.
  • Lower heat to medium and pour in the water and soy sauce. Leave to simmer over medium high until it boils. Once it boils, lower heat and add in the cornstarch slurry while mixing. Keep mixing until the sauce thickens. Add in the cooked noodles. Add dark soy sauce (if using) and mix well. Feel free to add more soy sauce and chili garlic sauce as needed, to taste and for extra heat.
  • Serve and enjoy hot with some chopped green onions.

    Step 4 says to drain eggplant but there isn’t a step before that says to put the eggplant in water or what to do.

      Hi, thanks so much for pointing this out! I’ve edited the step. I realised I never got to edit this part out. I initially blanched the eggplant but realised it’s not needed but forgot to take this part out of the steps!

    Very tasty and easy recipe! Definitely needed more spice though and a bit of sweetness to balance out the sauce. Good weeknight choice! I made it with roce noodles and added some mushrooms in with the eggplant too.
