1
Simmer the stock with the garlic and ginger for 15 minutes to build a fragrant base, then season with the soy sauce and salt.

Cook the noodles separately so the broth stays clean, and divide them between deep bowls.

Cook the eggplant gently in the simmering broth until just done, then lift out and slice or portion.

Ladle the piping-hot broth over the noodles and arrange the eggplant on top.

Finish with fresh cilantro, spring onions and a wedge of rice vinegar on the side.

Chef's tip

Taste and adjust the salt at the end; sauces concentrate as they reduce.
