Kimchi Ramen with aubergine and red pepper 

Ingredients (serves 4) 

Method

  1. Get a very large saucepan and add a dash of sesame oil. When the oil is hot add the ginger, garlic and chilli. Fry for 2-3 minutes. 

  2. Next add the vegetable stock, miso, soy sauce, kimchi, paprika and brown sugar. Simmer on a medium heat. 

  3. Preheat your oven and set it to a medium heat grill. 

  4. While the broth is simmering prepare the aubergine. Cut the aubergine into 6 strips. Get a large griddle pan and add a dash of sesame oil. When the oil is VERY hot add the 6 strips of aubergine. Place a heavy object on top to press the aubergine into the pan. Fry for 2 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. Set aside.

  5. While the griddle pan is still hot griddle the sweet red pepper for 2-3 minutes and set aside. 

  6. Place the aubergine onto a baking tray. In a small dish mix the sesame oil, brown sugar and gouchujang paste together. Brush the paste onto the aubergine and place under the grill for 5 minutes. 

  7. Cook the ramen noodles according to packet instruction. When the noodles are ready divide the noodles into 4 deep bowls.
