To begin, remove the tops of the aubergines and cut them in half lengthways
Add the oil to a hot wok and lightly fry off the chilli bean paste, black bean sauce, dried chillies and chilli flakes – you want to get the oil to change into a glowing red colour
Add the aubergine halves and lightly fry before adding the Shaoxing wine, red vinegar, stock and sugar
Cook until the sauce has reduced slightly and the aubergine is tender
