Elaboración paso a paso

Add aubergine pieces into a bowl and sprinkle with a generous amount of salt. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes. This will draw out the moisture. Rinse the salt and aubergine liquid off, and pat the pieces dry with a paper towel.
Heat the sesame oil in a wok or a large frying pan. Add aubergine pieces and cook on high heat for 7-10 minutes until browned.
Add shallots, garlic, ginger, and chilli. Saute everything together for about 5 minutes.
Finally, add red pepper, beansprouts and noodles. Mix them with the rest of the ingredients. Then, add soy sauce, carrot juice, lime juice, and lime zest. Keep cooking for another 5 minutes or so.
Finally, stir in the green onions. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and enjoy.
