Mapo eggplant with pork

An eggplanty twist on the classic Sichuan dish (usually with tofu) but just like the original, this one’s all about balance — silky roasted eggplant and crispy fried pork mince soaking up a richly savoury, mildly spicy sauce. Ours also keeps the spice gentle but the flavour big, making it perfect to ladle over fluffy steamed rice or toss with noodles for an easy, delicious dinner.

To Serve

Spoon it over steamed rice or noodles. It’s brilliant as a side dish in a Chinese feast or as the main show spooned in lettuce cups or with a fried egg on top.
