Eggplant Pinoy Bistek, Bistek na Talong

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.
