Hi guys! Thank you for watching! You can check out our merch from this link: my-store-cc45f9.creator-spring.com/ By the way I designed all of our merch myself👍😄
have you tried palitaw lol😅 some people put other things on it but i prefer the original(simple) just coconut, sesame seed, and sugar if you like mochi maybe you'll like this
The very basic way of making tortang talong is just Eggplant, egg, and salt. I often use fish sauce when eating tortang talong or banana ketsup. Hiro-san the way you cooked tortang talong is the fancy way of cooking it. Great job by the way. Keep it up!
You did a great job. In fact it looks like something you serve in a restaurant because it has more ingredients. The original tortang talong is thin because its just the eggplant, egg and onion.
Is that the original tortang talong? I grew up with it having ground pork all the time. The plain one is just a recent discovery of mine coz someone at home just wanted to be more vegetarian -- and nakakapanibago din esp if you're used to the one with meat.
@@iflipover afaik, tortang talong is just grilled eggplant, egg, and salt and pepper to taste, then fry. Then a dip of your choice, mine is soy sauce, onion and tomato
@@HiroFoodinJapan there are variations of this but mostly its similar to a Tempura with only egg as its 'batter/coating' and a few ingredients of onion and eggplant. The one you cooked is on the more fancy side, and you did even better than I first made this dish. Thank you for cooking my favorite dish! 😂
What you did was a very stylish way to prepare "Tortang talong", the traditional or the "simple household" way of cooking it is slightly similar to how Japanese cook "vegetable tempura". You just need to grill the eggplant or boil it (for ease) then peel the skin and "dip" it in a egg batter with seasoning, next will be the frying after that it's done. You can maybe add thinly sliced tomato or onion on the batter but that's up to preference. It's one of my favorite household dishes.
Boiling eggplants for tortang tslong is the worst way of making tortang talong. The skin should be totally grilled black to give the distinct smokey flavour in the eggplant. I will never eat a tortang talong if the eggplant was boiled. It is bland and wet.
@@arnieljovero1008 It's for ease and an option, most importantly it's preference. And it's not like you can't drain a bit of the liquid, who cooks with an excessively wet eggplant anyway.
@@joejunior4700 i agree with shortcuts if the food will taste better or at least the same with the traditional way of cooking the tortang talong but it does taste so bland. Unless you like cooking with lots of msg or magic sarap it might better but where will you get the smokiness of the grilled talong? You maybe like mediocrity in the taste of food but some people will not tolerate them. Maybe you did not know that eggplants are full of water or rather 90% moisture. That is why Italians sprinkle salts on sliced eggplants to remove all the moisture so that the eggplant lasagna will not be soggy ang their breafed fried eggplants will be crispy. Maybe you are not a cook and know nothing about cooking so you want ease and convenience. That is fine with me. Furthermore i think Hiro is a Chef and you know that Japanese cooks with passion, aesthetics and taste. Hiro is even hard on himself when cooking.
@@arnieljovero1008 Hey, calm down. if you think about it, everything has people who wcan't tolerate them. You are a little bit high and mighty with your preference. If that's how you prefer it, good! But down belittle people who have other preferences or just cook it that way out of convenience or for faster cooking. i myself grill it but won't ever mock those who do it a different way. beside boiling it is also delicious although it doesn't have that smoky smell. If you say it's bland maybe you just don't know how to do it that way.
@@rap3208 you are full of hot air and nonesense in your comment. You are overanalyzing my comment. It is my taste not yours and boiled eggplants are always bland period. What is high and mighty in eating tortang talong which is such a simple dish. Again i am not belittling anyone and do whatever way you want to cook tortang talong. Because what i stated is my preference. You might not like it, tough, get over it.
Next time, I suggest not to put the eggplant in icebath afterwards. Just put it in a bowl or any container which you can cover with clingwrap or any cover for that matter. Let it sit for a few minutes. The trapped steam will make peeling the eggplant easier plus you keep the smoky flavor and aroma. Once you put the eggplant with egg in the pan,do not touch it until it is ready to be flipped so that it will not end up like having scrambled eggs on the side.😊
You did very well 👏 👌 My few tips: 1. After grilling the eggplant, put it inside a plastic or paper bag for few minutes. It'll be easier to peel. 2. You can spread the eggplant more to make it thinner. 3. Tortang talong goes very well with Soy Sauce and Kalamansi/lemon dipping sauce. You can add garlic chilli oil or simply chilli if you fancy a little heat 😊
Craving for tortang talong now! We have the same way of preparing it, except for the greens that you add on top while frying. Most Filipinos use catsup, but i prefer soysauce + calamansi + onions and chilis. Yummmmmm
the smokiness from eggplant will make it more delicious, and tortant talong is a very simple dish (eggplant and egg only) actually you just make it more fancy. nice work hiro sama. sometimes instead of ground pork/beef i used corned beef much cheaper :) and i think you forgot the dipping sauce, soysauce and calamansi with chili. also it would be more nice if you make it more thinner. sometimes i put breadcrumbs too to make it crispy japanese style!
Hi Hiro, you did it right! My lola used to cook it this way but without parley, in authentic tortang talong there is no parsley. But this is very good!!!!
Looks like a premium tortang talong! Mouthwatering! 😋 You can omit the ground pork. You can have thick slices of the onions for added texture and then the chopped tomatoes for added flavour. You can either dip it in ketchup or spiced vinegar. Grilling the eggplant is to lock in the flavour and for easy frying without using too much oil. Maybe next time you can cut the eggplant in half so it won't be too thick before soaking it in the egg together with the onions and tomatoes. And for it to cook quicker. The eggplants in Japan are quite big.
Very nice!. you can cut it in half if the eggplant is too thick. then do the same thing again. you get 4pcs instead of 2. the more the better! nyahaha. also you don't have to worry about authenticity. Tortang talong is basically the eggplant and egg only then fried. add anything you want and it will still be tortang talong as long as the 2 key ingredients is there.
I make Eggplant Torta only with mashed eggplant. Different to authentic style. I put extra onions and pepper, then egg and flour. The end result tastes similar to burger. There are other kinds of torta. Tortang hipon (shrimps). Tortang kalabasa (squash) or any other veggies. It's like overcooked omelette.
Cheap, healthy and delicious. Downside is its time consuming to make specially you have to be gentle on peeling the skin off after roasting it on the fire! Very good 11/10 lawl
Nice....while catsup is the usual dip, try dipping the eggplant torta in anchovy sauce (fish bagoong) with calamansi. It gives the torta a totally different flavor and umami. You may forego catsup altogether. I know i did once I had the anchovy+calamansi dip. Next time, don't cut off the eggplant stalk - this is the handle you use when broiling over fire so no need for skewers and also when dipping in the egg batter prior to frying.
You did a great job Hiro san and I love the reaction of your wife.... Thank you both for loving Filipino dishes.... You guys are mostly welcome to visit the Philippines... You have a lot of Filipino subscribers.
Thanks Hiro, for featuring-and putting great effort in cooking-one of my favorite dishes. You did really well! (I personally wouldn’t put the grilled eggplant in an ice bath. I feel it washes away some of that delicious grilled flavor.) This is how my mother always made tortang talong-with ground pork sautéed in garlic, onion, & tomato, seasoned with soy sauce & finely ground black pepper-so, this is how I make mine. Very yummy. Goes well with tomato ketchup, but I prefer patis (fish sauce). With hot steaming rice, of course!😋 Itadakimasu! Note: Our native eggplant is thinner than the Japanese one, so grilling ours is easier & cooks faster. Grilling eggplant & then peeling it is quite a task, but worth it for the great taste!
There are several ways of doing it and how you did it was one of those ways. You did everything right. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, not too soft otherwise it would break. Normally, I would add the cooked ground pork in the egg before I put it on the eggplant but you did very good, including the thickness. Great job!
Thank you for featuring my favorite way of preparing eggplant. I usually use the long skinny variety, sometimes adding hot pepper flakes & slices of sweet onions. I like having simple Tortang Talong for breakfast or lunch with rice & banana ketchup. You did great making it. Looks so delicious👍👍👍👍
You did good! You made a variation of combining the Tortang Giniling (Ground Pork/Beef Omelette, a.k.a fritata) and Tortang talong. That looks SOOOOO GOOD!
Wow tortang talong with ground meat is new to me! Tortang talong is usually just eggplant and eggs. But this looks good too! I want to try adding ground pork someday. Oh and definitely the eggplant needed a little bit more grill. It should be really soft 😊
That's usually how we have it at home. Others usually have it thinner but we like the thicker version for our family. Banana ketchup is the best sauce for it with a little togarashi.
Wow that's one Fancy Tortang talong I my self always cook tortang talong but I don't poke it I just directly put it on fire to trap The heat inside to make it's softer. But anyways it's looks good and im sure it's delicious.
tortang talong with banana ketchup is one of my fave breakfast meals. Though I usually just have the tortang talong as a side, together with the main protein of choice like hotdog, chorizo, tocino or tapa.
Good job. You did it correctly. Really looks delicious. The eggplants are different from what we have here in the Philippines. They look more like courgettes.
It looks great! You might think it's not authentic but that's how you cook Tortang Talong, it's just that eggplants here in the Philippines is smaller. And usually this is cooked without minced pork, especially when you are tight on budget or does not have much time. You did great! I got hungry watching this, this is one of my favorite Filipino dishes.
It is fine with the egg. I guess eggplants in japan does not come with the branch still on it. It is preferable to still have the branch because usually it is used to be easier to cook the tortang eggplant. It is usually used as a handle while cooking. :)
This one is called "tortang talong na may giniling" giniling meaning minced meat. Yummy! We like cooking the original one (eggplant and egg) and also this one when we have some leftover giniling (filipino picadillo). We'll dip it in banana ketchup or soy sauce. Filipinos love their garlic and onion.hehe We eat eggplant any time of the day with rice. The eggplant still needs some grilling if it's still hard. You need to cook it through so you can easily flatten it and won't be too bulky to fry especially with the added minced meat. Add some cornstarch to your egg mixture too to make it more solid. Honestly, your version looked good and yummy! And the wife loved it hehe Congrats on the merch! Clean and simple design that can we worn anytime and pairs well with jeans, shorts or skirt.
@@joejunior4700 agree and the big fat eggplants are perfect for lasagna and burgers etc but can still be used for torta if one is really craving for it, takes longer to grill though. Tastewise, our local eggplant is more flavorful for me.
Hiro-san not bad for a first try. Next time do it one at a time. Using fire for the eggplant is fine, the fire should have been very low though, to cook the core. If the core is soft you can spread it out. Also, mix the meat with scrambled eggs first, then by batches mix the eggplant on a plate, then fry them separately.
Onw of the most UNIQUE Tortang Talong i've ever seen.😍 looks very delicious. i suggested that you don't need to use some grill to toast the eggplant. you should charred it in fire to make the skin grilled. i'm really amazed how you nailed every filipino dish you cooked even you only watched it on youtube.💕 very nice! keep it up!❤
You can just boil the eggplant for option however, the burnt taste from grilling will be gone. You can also cook it without the pork. Just the vegetables will do.
Mash the talong with a fork very well until it becomes thin and widen. Make sure that the pan is heated well before you put the oil. Then, put the talong on the heated pan and wait 1 min before you pour the rest of the beaten eggs then wait until the edges becomes golden brown before you flip it. Actually I failed many many times before😅. The more crispy the tastier.
You can also boil the eggplant if grilling is too much to do, then once the eggplant soften you can drain the water let it cool a bit and remove the skin 😊
My mom would cut the roasted eggplant into smaller pieces and then mush it into the egg batter. And then she’d pour it over the sautéed aromatics. We would pair this with dried fish; on some other days with pork and beans. This will pair well with Japanese curry. I can imagine pouring the sauce over the tortang talong. Yum!
Ooohhh love it! I suggest that you dip it in a soy sauce, lemon (or kalamansi), and chopped red chili sauce. You could have also flattened the eggplant thinner and cook it one at a time, the egg has to be a bit crispy. Other than that, I appreciate you being respectful of our cuisine.
Hi guys! Thank you for watching! You can check out our merch from this link: my-store-cc45f9.creator-spring.com/
By the way I designed all of our merch myself👍😄
its just right you can put anything you prefer
some don't put anything at all just the eggplant and egg + seasoning
or eggplant + ground pork and egg
have you tried palitaw lol😅
some people put other things on it but i prefer the original(simple) just coconut, sesame seed, and sugar

I actually prefer this method (without the meat). I just love the smoky flavor of the eggplant and the egg.
My dipping sauce is vinegar and soy sauce
Me too. It is always fish sauce.
My dip sauce for tortang talong is soy sauce with calamansi
I use simple ketchup for tortang talong.
You did a great job. In fact it looks like something you serve in a restaurant because it has more ingredients. The original tortang talong is thin because its just the eggplant, egg and onion.
It doesnt even have onion sometimes

Without her, this channel would not be where it is today.
I’m filipino I think you did it right wether it’s thick or thin the process of cooking is same you put toppings that’s why it looks thick 👍👍
I love tortang talong, eapecially for breakfast.
Ooooooh your tortang talong is fancy! Tortang talong is just egg omelette with aubergine, salt and pepper. You levelled it up!
wow one of my favorite tortang talong na may giniling it's so delicious dip in banana ketchup,
The way you cook tortang talong is on another level, in fact it's an upgraded version

I remember my Japanese student while watching this video. He loves tortang talong so much. 🤩🤩
Your tortang talong is Great 👍👍👍 it's a real authentic Filipino style tortang talong.
That was perfect! Even more fancy/expensive way of doing it!
Comfort food! Drain meat and then add beaten egg. Normally we put raisins but some people dont like raisins.
the tortang talong looks more fancy and really good like those they serve in restaurants 😻👍
You did great, your tortang talong is beautiful.

Hi Hiro, you did it right! My lola used to cook it this way but without parley, in authentic tortang talong there is no parsley. But this is very good!!!!
2 ways to get the eggplants soft, first is what you did, grill or direct heating. Second is boiling.
woooo my go to meal when eggplant is available in the fridge..... Yumny!!
you may call it "not authentic" but thats the most beautiful torta i ever seen

Wow tortang talong with ground meat is new to me! Tortang talong is usually just eggplant and eggs. But this looks good too! I want to try adding ground pork someday.
Oh and definitely the eggplant needed a little bit more grill. It should be really soft 😊
If you can find Filipino eggplants, they are much slender and longer than the Japanese eggplants you used. They will cook more reliably
madumi ang isip ko hahahaha
That's usually how we have it at home. Others usually have it thinner but we like the thicker version for our family. Banana ketchup is the best sauce for it with a little togarashi.

you did very well :) im half filipino half japanese and i can appreciate both the dish and the cook's effort in making this!
Yes! You did it right! That's how I cook tortang talong.😋
This tortang talong is restaurant quality! ❤
This one is called "tortang talong na may giniling" giniling meaning minced meat. Yummy! We like cooking the original one (eggplant and egg) and also this one when we have some leftover giniling (filipino picadillo). We'll dip it in banana ketchup or soy sauce.

Next time I’ll add cornstarch to my egg👍
Exactly! I like the simple design because it pairs well anything 😊
Thank you for watching!
Japanese eggplants are not the same as Philippines eggplants, most eggplants sold are those cute and stubby one.
@@joejunior4700 agree and the big fat eggplants are perfect for lasagna and burgers etc but can still be used for torta if one is really craving for it, takes longer to grill though. Tastewise, our local eggplant is more flavorful for me.
Your TorTalong looks AWESOME! You should try it with KETCHUP!🥰
As long as it came out delicious you're doing it well enough.
This is perfect with kalamansi and soysauce dip.
Hiro-san not bad for a first try. Next time do it one at a time. Using fire for the eggplant is fine, the fire should have been very low though, to cook the core. If the core is soft you can spread it out.
Also, mix the meat with scrambled eggs first, then by batches mix the eggplant on a plate, then fry them separately.
That is a fancy or fusion version of tortang talong. I like when people think outside the box. Good job Hiro!
One of my favorite dishes!
Very good looks very tasty. Good appetite.
With shrimp paste it's amazing! Just barbecue the eggplant, then shrimp paste, it's already good by itself!
Oh goodness, it looks so delicious!
spot on! with ground pork or none
Onw of the most UNIQUE Tortang Talong i've ever seen.😍 looks very delicious.
i suggested that you don't need to use some grill to toast the eggplant. you should charred it in fire to make the skin grilled.
i'm really amazed how you nailed every filipino dish you cooked even you only watched it on youtube.💕 very nice!
keep it up!❤
with that tortang talong. no one would even dare complain
Looks great! It only looks different because eggplant is thicker than usual. You can also flatten it more.
I am craving for tortang talong now hahaha.
Love the shirts! I want one for myself!
You can just boil the eggplant for option however, the burnt taste from grilling will be gone.
You can also cook it without the pork. Just the vegetables will do.
Mash the talong with a fork very well until it becomes thin and widen. Make sure that the pan is heated well before you put the oil. Then, put the talong on the heated pan and wait 1 min before you pour the rest of the beaten eggs then wait until the edges becomes golden brown before you flip it. Actually I failed many many times before😅. The more crispy the tastier.
You can also boil the eggplant if grilling is too much to do, then once the eggplant soften you can drain the water let it cool a bit and remove the skin 😊
You can boil it, but it's not recommended, the grilling part is very important step and is responsible for the unique taste of tortang talong.
Thank you for your tips! I’ll try it next time 👍
This is one of my favorite eggplant dish. Yum!
My mom would cut the roasted eggplant into smaller pieces and then mush it into the egg batter. And then she’d pour it over the sautéed aromatics. We would pair this with dried fish; on some other days with pork and beans.
This will pair well with Japanese curry. I can imagine pouring the sauce over the tortang talong. Yum!
Wow! You're really good at this. This looks fluffy and delicious. This goes well with banana ketchup.
Ooohhh love it! I suggest that you dip it in a soy sauce, lemon (or kalamansi), and chopped red chili sauce. You could have also flattened the eggplant thinner and cook it one at a time, the egg has to be a bit crispy. Other than that, I appreciate you being respectful of our cuisine.
Thats best with soy sauce and freshly sqeezed lemon🍋
The way you cook the tortang talong is with a twist. So yummy im sure
