OK

3/5

But I'm not really a fan of aubergines anyway - too mushy.

Variations

Chili flakes or toasted sesame seeds make a nice garnish.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
