Wondering how to cook tortang talong? It is so easy!
Been a long time since I last posted here in our little website, so please accept my apologies. This 2018 though, I promise to post more – including recipes like how to cook Tortang Ampalaya, which is not just under P100.00 to make, but is also so easy and simple, that even a newbie cooking mama can whip up easily.
I was thinking that back when I was a new ILAW NG TAHANAN, there were recipes that are so simple, but when it is your turn to cook it, you’ll suddenly find yourself asking someone how to cook it, or google your way to the answer.

So now from time to time, I will be posting random recipes that are either for NEWBIE COOKING MAMAs, or recipes that are under P100.00, or BOTH as the case of our article today which is how to cook Tortang Ampalaya, I would also endeavor to post quick cooking recipes and freezer meals for those times that we have not much time and energy to whip up complicated dishes.
Easiest way to cook Tortang Ampalaya
Ingredients:
- One Large Ampalaya
- Two Medium Sized Tomatoes Chopped
- Two Cloves Garlic, Minced
- One Medium Sized Onion, Chopped
- 2-3 Pcs Eggs
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Procedure:
- Just slice and wash the ampalaya (some households wash and soak their sliced ampalaya with salt to reduce bitterness, while some households don’t because they say this reduces as well the nutrients you get from the ampalaya, so I leave the ampalaya prepping up to you ladies).
- Saute the onion, garlic and tomatoes. Once the onions get somehow transparent add in the Ampalaya. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs (i used two for a big ampalaya, but if you love eggs you can use three!) in a separate bowl. Add into the pan and then mix as if you are scrambling all the ingredients.
- AT THIS POINT YOU MAY ALREADY SEPARATE A PORTION FOR YOUR BABY OR TODDLER so that their torta will be unseasoned.
- For adults, you may use salt and pepper to season your tortang ampalaya.
This is now ready in less than 10 minutes, and yes, this is another under P100 ulam idea!
