  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • pepper to taste

  3. In the same pan, add extra oil. Add the garlic, onions and tomatoes. Saute them for a few minutes until brown and aromatic. You can crush the tomatoes a little to release the juices.

How to Cook Adobong Talong with Giniling

Preparing some adobong talong with giniling is super duper easy, much easier than the usual chicken or pork adobo. If you have tried any adobo dishes in the past, then the following steps would be familiar to you.

Before anything else, lets prepare the eggplants. You can use both green or purple eggplant, but I used the latter for this recipe. I sliced them a little diagonally to have a unique shape. To prevent them from crushing when cooking, do not remove the skin. Shallow-fry the eggplants until half cooked so they will only need just a little extra cooking for later. Set them aside until ready to use for later.

Lets start our adobo by sauteing the aromatic base. The most common aromatics used are garlic, onions and tomatoes for some acidity. Some recipes do not use tomatoes, so it is up to you. The next step is combining the aromatics with the ground pork. It is ideal to choose lean ground pork for this recipe so the dish would not be super oily in the end.

Add the classic ingredients soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar. After adding the vinegar, do not stir at once since the raw taste of the vinegar would mix with the rest of the pork, giving it a bitter taste. The signal on when tp mix the pork is when the raw taste of the vinegar has evaporated. Do a taste test to adjust the taste. I usually add a little sugar for extra sweetness. Remember that the oyster sauce is already a little sweet so taste it first.

Once the ground pork is very well flavored already, the last step is to add the eggplant slices back to the pan. Toss well to coat them with the sauce and allow the eggplant to cook fully. The dish is now done! But optionally, you can add some chilies for a little spicy kick.

I usually enjoy my adobong talong with giniling as a rice topper. Enjoy it while still hot! Yum!

Paano Magluto ng Adobong Talong na May Giniling

Mga Sangkap:

  • 1/2 kilo talong
  • 1/4 kilo giniling na baboy
  • 1 sibuyas (hiniwa)
  • 3 butil ng bawang (hiniwa ng maliliit)
  • 2 kamatia (hiniwa)
  • 3 kutsarang toyo
  • 2 kutsarang suka
  • 1 kutsarang oyster sauce
  • 1 kutsaritang puting asukal
  • 1/4 tasang tubig
  • paminta
  • sili (optional)

Paano Lutuin:

1. Ihanda ang mga talong. Hiwain ito sa katamtamang laki. Huwag tanggalin ang mga balat. Ibabad sa tubig ang mga nahiwang talong habang hinihiwa ang iba pa. 

2. Magpainit ng mantika sa kawali. Iprito ang mga talong hanggang maluto ng konti at maging light brown. Baliktarin ang mga ito para maluto ang kabilang side. Ilipat ang mga ito sa lalagyan at isantabi.

3. Sa parehong kawali, maglagay ng konti pang mantika. Ilagay ang sibuyas, bawang at kamatis. Igisa ang mga ito ng ilang minuto. Medyo durugin ang mga kamatis para lumabas ang katas nito.

4. Sunod na ilagay ang giniling na baboy at igisa hanggang mag-iba ang kulay. Ilagay ang oyster sauce, toyo at timplahan ng konting paminta. Haluin ng mabuti.

5. Ibuhos ang suka. Wag muna itong haluin at hayaan lang maluto ng 1 buong minuto. Kapag wala na ang matapang na amoy ng suka, pwede na itong haluin.

6. Maglagay ng kalahating tasa ng tubig. Takpan ang kawali at hayaan itong maluto ng 10 minuto gamit ang katamtamang apoy. Tikman at iadjust ang lasa gamit ang konting asukal.

7. Ilagay ang mga pinritong talong sa kawali at ihalo sa giniling para malagyan ng adobo sauce.

8. Budburan ng konting sili para medyo umanghang ng konti. Haluin bago patayin ang apoy.

9. Ilipat ang adobong talong with giniling sa serving plate. Ihain ito sa ibabaw ng malaking bowl ng mainit na kanin. Yum!
