Instructions

1. 1

   Boil the noodles a minute shy of the packet time, drain, and toss with a splash of the Neutral Oil so they don't clump.

2. 2

   Heat the rest of the Neutral Oil in a wok until it shimmers, then flash the garlic for a few seconds.

3. 3

   Add the eggplant and cook until just done, then splash in the soy sauce.

4. 4

   Slide the noodles in and toss vigorously for 60 seconds so every strand picks up the sauce.

5. 5

   Finish off the heat with spring onions and nori seaweed.
