Tortang Talong Recipe
Description
This Tortang Talong recipe uses Chinese eggplants that are grilled until the skin nearly blackens, which softens the flesh and adds smokiness. After cooling, the skin is removed, and the flesh is flattened with a fork. The eggplant is then dipped into beaten eggs seasoned with salt, coating it evenly. Cooking takes place on medium heat with neutral oil, frying each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, resulting in a tender interior wrapped in a golden, lightly crispy egg coating. It blends the creamy texture of cooked eggplant with the rich flavor of fried egg, typical of this Filipino comfort food.
