Teriyaki Aubergines + Edamame Quinoa by Mindful Chef
Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1 pak choi
- 1 red chili
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 210 g edamame beans, (drained)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 baby aubergines
- 4 cm fresh ginger
- 80 g kale
- 80 g quiona
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6 and boil a kettle. Roughly chop the kale and slice the end off the pak choi to separate the leaves. Slice the baby aubergines in half lengthways.
- To make the teriyaki sauce; peel and grate the ginger and garlic. Place in a bowl with the maple syrup, tamari and the juice from the lime.
- Drain and rinse the edamame beans. Rinse the quinoa and place in a saucepan with 400ml boiling water. Simmer for 10 mins, then add the edamame beans and simmer for a further 5 mins.
- Drizzle the pak choi leaves with 1/2 tbsp oil. Preheat a griddle pan to a medium heat and cook the pak choi for 2-3 mins until wilted. Remove and keep warm. Then drizzle 1 tbsp oil over the aubergine halves and add to the same pan on a medium heat for 10 mins, turning occasionally until softened and slightly charred. In the final 2 mins, brush the aubergines with half of the teriyaki sauce.
- Meanwhile, place the kale on a baking tray, drizzle over 1/2 tbsp oil and place in the oven for 5-10 mins, until turning golden and crispy.
- Finely slice the red chilli. Drain the quinoa and beans and mix in the crispy kale, pak choi and remaining teriyaki sauce.
- Spoon the edamame quinoa onto two warm plates, top with the chargrilled aubergines and sprinkle over the red chili slices..
