This vegetarian-friendly meal combines tasty noodles with crisp tempura.
- Cook noodles in a large saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Divide among 4 large bowls. Top with spinach.
- Meanwhile, bring the water, stock, soy sauce, mirin and sugar to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and simmer for 1 minute. Cover and keep warm.
- Place flour, egg and water in a bowl. Mix until just combined. Do not over-mix. It should look lumpy.
- Pour oil into a wok to reach a depth of 5cm. Heat until 170C over medium-high heat (when the oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden in 20 seconds). Dip the eggplant into the batter to coat. Deep-fry the eggplant, in 2 batches, for 2 minutes or until crisp and cooked through.
- Ladle the stock mixture among the bowls. Top with the eggplant tempura and sprinkle with the chilli.
