Recipe Notes:
– If you happen to don’t love aubergine, you could possibly use mushrooms or tofu as an alternative.
– Soba noodles are made out of buckwheat which is of course gluten-free. However all the time verify the package deal in case you are illiberal as there are lots of manufacturers that blend wheat and buckwheat.
– The marinade does not have any acidic ingredient, which I truly desire within the recipe, however you could possibly addd a splash of rice vinegar or lemon juice in order for you.

Give it a toss and plate on two bowls. High with sesame seeds, coriander, the remainder of the chili and a drizzle of the remaining marinade.
