Fried Eggplant (Pritong Talong)

This is a recipe for fried eggplant or pritong talong.

⏱ Prep: 5 min ⏱ Cook: 10 min

Ingredients

  • 1 Chinese eggplant
  • 6 tbsp oil
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp bagoong alamang

Instructions

  1. Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise. Cut into 3 inch pieces.

  2. Dredge the eggplants in flour.

  3. Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a pan. Once the oil gets hot, pan-fry the eggplant slices until one side gets dark brown. Turn it over to cook the other side. Add the remaining oil if necessary since eggplants tend to absorb oil when fried. Continue to cook until the eggplant is done.
