1½ tbsp sunflower oil
500g pack lamb mince
1 tbsp ground cumin
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1½ tbsp shaoxing rice wine
1 tsp clear honey
1 large Essential Aubergine, cut into 2cm cubes
2 red chillies, 1½ finely chopped, ½ finely sliced
25g Cooks’ Ingredients Chopped Ginger, drained
4 Essential Salad Onions, whites and greens separated, both thinly sliced
2 x 275g packs fresh egg noodles

Heat ½ tbsp sunflower oil in a large wok or sauté pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the lamb and fry for 8-10 minutes until really crisp and browned throughout with no pink meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring frequently.
Stir the cumin, soy sauce, rice wine and honey into the mince until well-combined, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the mixture to a bowl. Return the pan to a medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the aubergine to the pan and fry for 6 minutes, stirring regularly, until golden and tender, then turn the heat down a bit and add the finely chopped chillies, ginger and salad onion whites; cook for a further 2 minutes.
Add the noodles to the pan with 2 tbsp water and toss through for 2 minutes. Add the lamb and stir until well-combined and piping hot (another 2 minutes). Divide among 4 bowls and scatter with the salad onion greens and finely sliced chilli.
