Okay I might be onto something genius here!


Take your typical wagamamma katsu curry, swap chicken for aubergine, and now put your curry sauce through noodles instead! Presenting


Aubergine katsu noods! đź’š


The noodles soaked up all the gorgeous asian-y spicy sauce, and make a lighter alternative to the normal rice.


I absolutely love using aubergine instead of chicken. Because of its porous texture, it’s a perfect sponge for soaking up that gorgeous curry sauce. It also allows the breadcrumbs to crips up a treat!


You can alter the spice in your curry sauce by adding more chilli if you prefer more of a kick.
