Cooking Steps

Cook the eggplant
1

• Cut eggplant into 1cm chunks. 
• In a medium bowl, combine eggplant, a pinch of salt and a generous drizzle of olive oil.
• Set air fryer to 200°C. Place eggplant into the air fryer basket and cook 
for 10 minutes. Shake the basket, then cook until tender, a further 
5-10 minutes.


TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Prepare eggplant as above. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. 

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, peel carrot into ribbons.
• In a second medium bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of 
sugar and salt. Add carrot to pickling liquid with enough water to just cover carrot. Set aside.
• Slice avocado in half, scoop out flesh and thinly slice. 

Cook the pork
3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Add sweet soy seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
• Remove pan from heat, then add the honey and a splash of water. Stir through cooked eggplant. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve
4

• Drain pickled carrot.
• In a third medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage mix, carrot, Asian chilli dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide salad between bowls. Top with honey-soy pork and avocado. 
• Sprinkle with crispy shallots and tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
