Wash the eggplant and cut it into small cubes. Salt it and let it sit for 10 minutes to release its liquid, then pat it dry.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent.
Add the garlic and tomato paste, stir to combine, then add the eggplant. Sauté for 5-7 minutes over medium heat.
Pour in the soy sauce and season with chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender.
When serving, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and fresh parsley. This dish is best served warm with steamed rice or a fresh salad.
