How To Make Eggplant Noodles

Ingredients:

1 pound eggplant (1 medium)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Chef’s knife
Vegetable peeler
Cutting board
Measuring spoons

2. Heat the oils: Heat the olive and sesame oils in a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sauté the noodles: Add the noodles and sauté until softened and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
