Divide the aubergine into 4 vertical pieces. Randomly peel, then cut into bitesize pieces. Put in a dish and wrap with cling film.

Microwave for 4 minutes. Beware you don't burn yourself, it will be very hot.

Almost immediately add the aubergines from Step 2 and sprinkle with the bonito flakes. Stir fry and mix well with the sauce for 2 minutes on high heat.
