Tortang Repolyo: Budget Friendly Recipe
During the quarantine period, I thought of making some recipes that can give people some ideas what to prepare on a tight budget. I experimented in the kitchen and thought of how to cook the ingredients that are already available in my fridge. That’s how I came up with a recipe with repolyo with egg, that is tortang repolyo.
How to Make Tortang Repolyo
As the name suggest, tortang repolyo or cabbage omelette is cooked by frying. The recipe starts with shredding or chopping the cabbage into thin strips. Cabbage can either be chopped in small pieces or shred into tiny strips. I chose strips cos I want to keep it crunchy and visible when I cooked it as omelette instead of being fully coated with eggs.
One of the key ingredients in cooking cabbage omelette is the eggs. You can add more eggs in this recipe depending on how much yield you want. I added some all-purpose flour as binding ingredient but this is totally optional.
To make the cabbage omelette tasty and savory, dissolved chicken broth cube was added, but this is optional too. For healthier option, just add chicken or vegetable broth.
RECIPE NOTES
- Make this even tastier by adding some chopped onions and garlic. You may also add additional seasoning like garlic powder.
- You can also put some meat on it. Just sauté’ some ground meat, be it chicken or pork. Then, add to the cabbage mixture.
- You can use any dipping sauce you want. I used ketchup in this recipe and they taste so good! My kids love it.
- If you want to make more cabbage omelet, just double the ingredients.
- If you don’t have chicken broth cube, you can use chicken or vegetable broth instead. It is optional anyway.
