Arrange eggplant in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush slices with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until tender. Arrange on a large platter; cover and set aside. Trim fat from pork, and cut pork into 2 x 1/8-inch strips. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, and saute 4 minutes. Add carrot and next 9 ingredients to skillet, and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Spoon pork mixture over eggplant slices, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

NOTES : Eggplant is bland by itself, but it's a great carrier of the flavors in this recipe. My husband is Chinese, and we enjoy it both as a main dish and as part of a multi-course Oriental meal.
