Garden Egg Noodles (Stir Fry)

Funke Koleosho;s Garden Egg Noodle Stir Fry

First up in my line up of spiralized Nigerian vegetables are Garden eggs...(read a little more about garden eggs here.)

Garden eggs (Aubergine family) are every where in Nigeria and they are mostly eaten raw as a snack. They are also cooked/stewed and served with boiled yam.

Spiralizing garden eggs, takes them to another level.  In this recipe, I demonstrate how you can spiralize them, stir fry them and serve with some grilled fish or chicken, a completely radical approach...Now you can serve garden eggs for lunch or dinner, in style. Excellent for those watching their calorie intake and its so so filling and delicious.
