A beloved everyday dish of Filipino home cooking: prepared by mashing long eggplants that have been charred over embers until soft with a fork, then coating them in egg and frying in a pan. With its smoky charred aroma and soft texture, it is a hearty lunch alongside rice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Char-grill the eggplant

10 min

Char the eggplants over an open flame or on a grill, turning occasionally, until the skin is burnt and the inside is soft.

2

Peel and mash

5 min

Peel off the charred skin, then flatten the eggplant with a fork without breaking off the stem, shaping it flat.

3

Coat in egg

2 min

Beat the eggs with salt and black pepper; holding the eggplant by the stem, dip the mashed eggplant thoroughly into the beaten egg.

4

Fry

6 min

Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the egg-coated eggplant on both sides until golden.

5

Serve

Serve hot with rice on the side.

Reminder

Important: After charring the eggplant, flatten it without pulling off the stem; the stem acts as a handle and keeps the omelet from falling apart when flipping. Allergen: contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you char the eggplant directly over an open flame, the smoky aroma is more pronounced; charring it in the oven is also possible, but the flavor will be a bit milder.

Baharat miktarı bana ağır geldi, biraz azaltılabilir.

Pişirme yöntemi yerine ızgara denedim, farklı ama daha iyi oldu bence.
