Stir-fry Japanese Eggplant with Shrimp in Spicy Dried Shrimp Sauce

Chinese or Japanese eggplant is one of my favorite stir-fry vegetable .I like my eggplants stir-fry with spicy sauce and seafood.The right way of cooking stir-fry Chinese/Japanese eggplants is to cook the eggplants in a wok of hot oil first before stir-fry with your favorite paste.If you think the cooked eggplant is too oily after cooked in the hot oil,then sieve it up and run it under water to removed the excess oil away!!Since I have some leftover clams,I toss it together with the cleaned shrimp.Viola!! I can eat a couple bowls of rice just with this dish!!
