Pork mince, 5% fat130 g
Weighed raw.
Aubergine250 g
One medium aubergine, cut into finger-length batons.
Garlic2 cloves, about 6 g
Fresh gingerA thumb, finely chopped
Fresh red chilliOne, sliced
Tamari1 tbsp (15 g)

Sugar1 tsp, about 4 g
Cornflour1 tsp (4 g)
Rapeseed oilHeaped tsp (6 g)
Cooked white rice130 g
Cooked weight. About 50 g of dry rice becomes 130 g cooked.
Spring onion20 g

Method

Microwave the aubergine batons in a covered bowl for five minutes until they have collapsed and gone translucent. Drain off the liquid.
Stir the tamari, vinegar, sugar and cornflour together with four tablespoons of water.
Heat the oil in a wok until smoking, add the pork and fry hard, breaking it up, until browned and crisp in places. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli and stir for thirty seconds.
Add the aubergine and toss for two minutes, then pour in the sauce and cook for a minute until it thickens and clings. Serve over the rice with the spring onion.

Worth knowing

Aubergine soaks up oil like a sponge if you fry it raw. Softening it in the microwave first means the whole dish uses six grams of oil instead of the forty it would otherwise drink.
The pork is a seasoning here rather than the main event, so it is 130 g rather than the 170 g on most plates in this set. The protein figure reflects that.
