Day 35 Sunday 23/09/07

Last Night

Had a half bottle of Italian merlot (won at the pub quiz) it needed food to make it palatable so had some sheep's cheese on 3 oatcakes.

Then got peckish so had a ham and salad sandwich (was a bit naughty and had mayonaise on it)

Breakfast

Apple, mango and passion fruit smoothie
1 x Benecol probiotic cholesterol lowering drink

Daytime

Went to the SO Noodle Bar
Had Aubergine Tempura with seaweed
Then had shredded chicken noodles
Washed it down with a bottle of Japanese lager

Eve Meal

Taiwanese Aubergine

Fry a chopped onion in groundnut oil with a centimetre of fresh ginger and a star anise, half way through add a pinch of sugar.
Chop half an aubergine into chip size bits and add to the onion after they have softened
When the aubergine has browned add 3 tbs of soy sauce then 3 tbs of rice wine vinegar then 150ml of water
Leave to simmer for 10 mins then add a tablespoon of oyster sauce and a teaspoon of cornflower mixed into some cold water. Mix through and cook for a further 3 mins.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve


Pros – lots of aubergine

Cons – noodles will have been fried as was the tempura aubergine
