Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces - dried wide rice noodles
- 3 tablespoons - gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
- 1 tablespoons - white or yellow miso
- 6 tablespoons - extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds - medium eggplant, preferably Japanese, sliced 1/4" thick
- 6 - garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 - 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons - double concentrated tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons - unsalted butter
- 1/4 cups - chopped salted dry-roasted peanuts
- 3 - scallions, thinly sliced
Directions:
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a simmer. Remove pot from heat and stir in noodles. Let soak, stirring often, until very al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup noodle cooking liquid. Rinse noodles under cold running water.
Step 2
Mix gochujang and miso in a small bowl, gradually adding 1½ cups warm water, until smooth.
Step 3
Meanwhile, heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high. Add eggplant and drizzle with another 2 Tbsp. oil; season lightly with salt. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Toss; continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until most of eggplant are golden and nearly tender, about 5 minutes more. Transfer eggplant to a plate.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to skillet. Cook garlic and ginger, stirring often, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, about 1 minute. Stir in gochujang mixture and return eggplant to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant are nearly falling apart, 6–8 minutes.
Step 5
Add noodles, butter, and ½ cup reserved noodle cooking liquid to skillet. Cook, tossing often and adding more cooking liquid as needed, until sauce is glossy, about 2 minutes; season with salt.
Step 6
Serve noodles topped with scallions and peanuts.
