Sticky, sweet, textural, meaty and it just happens to be vegan, this bowl is gloriously glistening with eggplant that's fried until it yields to silky strips, sponging up the sticky teriyaki sauce.
If you're looking at it and thinking Isn't this just cold noodles? The answer is yes! I hope this gives you permission to turn last night's leftover noodles into salad by adding some fresh herbs or leafy bits and dressing it decisively to keep everything slippery.
The structure should have entirely collapsed through the middle the opposite of al dente. The eggplants in the room.
This salad is delicious cold if you're sweltering in the Australian heat, or served fresh out of the pan if you're looking for a winter warmer in the northern hemisphere.
