OODLES OF NOODLES
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over high heat. Once bubbling, cook the noodles for 4-6 minutes until tender. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
O BOY, WE HAVE PAK CHOI!
Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Finely slice the stems and set aside. Slice the green, leafy parts in half lengthways. Set aside. In a bowl, combine the noodle sauce, the peanut butter, 15ml of water, and 5ml of a sweetener of choice. Set aside.

When the noodles are done, place a pan or wok over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the aubergine chunks and fry for 4-5 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally.
SMELL THOSE FRAGRANT FLAVOURS
When the aubergine is browned, add the grated garlic, the sliced pak choi stems, ½ the sliced chilli (to taste), the halved pak choi leaves, and the spring onion whites to the pan or wok. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the heat and add the peanut noodle sauce, the cooked noodles, and the edamame beans. Toss until combined and season.
OODLES OF YUM NOODLES
