Method
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes, then cool under cold running water and peel.
Grill the whole aubergines directly over a high flame or under a hot grill, turning occasionally, for 12 minutes until the skins are blackened and the flesh is completely soft.
Leave the aubergines to cool for 5 minutes, then peel away the charred skin and tear the flesh into long strips.
Whisk the lime juice, light soy sauce and sugar together in a bowl until the sugar dissolves.
Arrange the aubergine strips on a serving plate and scatter with the shallots, chillies and garlic.
Top with the hard-boiled egg quarters, spoon over the dressing, and finish with the chopped coriander.
