Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Turn the grill to high (240C) / air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Grill the aubergine

  • Dice the aubergine into 2cm chunks
  • Add the aubergine to the foil-lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil, half the curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Grill for 12-14 mins / air fryer 10-12 mins, until soft and golden

Time to noodle

  • Meanwhile, add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water

Soften the veg

  • Thinly slice the spring onions and pepper. Deseed and thinly slice the chilli
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pepper and cook for 3-4 mins, until softening. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the sugar snap peas, ginger & garlic paste, chilli (for those who'd like the heat) and the remaining curry powder. Cook for another 2-3 mins

Make the satay sauce

  • In the small bowl, mix the peanut butter with 100ml hot water (50ml for 1 person) until smooth, then stir in the tamari, maple syrup and juice from the lime
  • Add the sauce to the veg pan and bring to a simmer, then add the cooked aubergine and noodles. Toss to combine and simmer for 1 min, until the sauce has thickened slightly and is coating the noodles. Add a splash of water if it becomes too dry

Plate up

  • Roughly chop the peanuts
  • Share the satay aubergine noodles between bowls, with the spring onion and peanuts scattered on top
