Instructions

Prep all ingredients: chop eggplant, garlic and measure out the bay leaves.

Season the chickpeas with salt and pepper, then roast over medium-high heat until well browned, about 9 minutes.

Add eggplant, garlic to the pan and cook until softened, 5 minutes.

Stir in bay leaves, annatto oil, vinegar, coconut milk and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Meanwhile, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions and set aside.

Combine everything in the pan, reduce heat, and let simmer for 8 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or a squeeze of citrus if needed.

Serve hot, over rice noodles, garnished with fresh herbs.
