they're the closest thing i've gotten to real noodles, probably at a 5th of the calories of wheat
it's pretty simple, especially if your eggplant is bitter, make sure to salt it
then just julienne it,i don't have a julienne peeler so i just hand chop them into discs and cut into general noodle dimensions
then you just need to saute some garlic/ chilli/ other seasoning in 1 tbsp or less of olive oil
dump the noodles in and stir fry till soft, should lose a bit of its crunch and become noodle-ish
season as you would noodles, soy sauce etc

Oh YUM. I have been thinking about how to lighten up this recipe, and I'll bet doing it as noodles instead of fried spears would work great!

Hi to Thoughts of Mine 2017, This is a great idea!! Impressed to cut the eggplant like noodles.
Do you own or use an Air Fryer?
For my small summer garden, I am growing 2 eggplant 🍆 plants. Last Friday, chopped up eggplant, zucchini,green pepper to make Ratatouille, and froze some of this.0 -
Sounds great. I'll have to try it.0
