Bistek na Talong
Eggplant Pinoy Bistek, Bistek na Talong is another OPC’s innovative Pinoy dish that is simple, economical and most of all very yummy that suit the Pinoy palate. For this recipe, I used the large classic eggplant. Sliced the eggplant crosswise into thin round slices. I then fried the slices in batches. Please be aware that the eggplant will absorbed the oil during frying.

Now if you are not into very oily food, I recommend to first soak the sliced eggplants with water before frying. Soaking the eggplants with water will absorbed some of the water and forms a barrier to prevent or minimized the oil from being absorbed by the frying eggplant. Cooking our Eggplant Pinoy Bistek is very simple. It requires a little tweak on the usual cooking method of a Bistek Tagalog.

Tugi Tuge

Tugi, Tuge. During one of my recent trip to Mahogany Market up in Tagaytay City , I unexpectedly found a stall on the fruit and vegetable section of the market selling Tugi . It was unexpected for the reason that Tugi is a root crop usually found in Northern Luzon or the Ilocos Region . What is Tugi or Tuge ? Tugi is a root tuber from vine plant with heart-shaped leaves. The root tuber is similar in size to a long kamote with thin plastic like skin. The skin is sometimes covered with small root hairs. Tugi are usually boiled like kamote or cooked with vegetables, like the Ilocano Buridibud . When boiled the meat texture varies from starchy, if overcooked and nutty like chestnut when cooked correctly. Delicious boiled Tugi are popular merienda similar to boiled kamote and kamoteng kahoy in the Ilocos. Boiled Tugi are also made as “Lubi-lubi” the Ilocano version of “Nilupak”.
