Delicious Pork Mince With Eggplant And Rice Noodles

Sometimes I get bored by the same pork recipes and want to try out more flavourful options. Last week my neighbours invited me for a super tasty dinner: pork mince with eggplant accompanied by rice noodles. I can’t wait to cook it myself! I might add some more spices, though.
