1
Trim and cut the aubergines into 2.5cm cubes. Sprinkle the cubes with salt and leave them in a sieve to drain for 20 minutes, then rinse them under cold running water and pat dry with kitchen paper
2
Heat a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the garlic, ginger and spring onions and stir-fry them for 30 seconds, then add the aubergines and continue to stir-fry for 1 minute
3
Add the rest of the ingredients. Turn the heat down and cook uncovered for 10–15 minutes until the aubergine is tender, stirring occasionally
4
Return the heat to high and continue to stir until the liquid has reduced and thickened slightly. Plate the aubergines onto a serving dish and garnish with the chopped spring onion tops
