Ingredients

Method

Soak the chunks of eggplant in a pot of salted water for 10 minutes. Drain and coat in the corn flour.
Heat the oil for deep frying. Fry each piece of eggplant (a few at a time) until it turns golden brown and leave on paper towels to drain.
In a large wok, roast the cashews in the sesame oil and set aside.
In the wok, fry up the garlic and ginger with the spring onions and add the soy sauce and chilli.
Add the Lord & Lion Indian Chinese Schezwan Sauce and ½ of the roasted cashews and stir through.
Add the eggplant and toss through.
Spread the spinach on a serving platter, place the eggplant on top and scatter the remainder of the roasted cashews on top. Enjoy!
