Pritong Talong (Pan Fried Asian Eggplants)

Pritong Talong or Pan Fried Asian Eggplants is a simple dish made out of thinly sliced eggplant seasoned with salt and pepper then pan fried, it is served with a lemon soy sauce dip

One of my favourite aroma is when eggplants is being shallow fried in a pan, it’s such a light pleasant smell that triggers your appetite. When I was younger I was always tempted with this aroma, for me it’s comparable to bacon or freshly baked cinnamon rolls but I never liked eating them like most kids but as you grow old taste buds changes its preferences and looking for different varieties and now this is one of those simple vegetable dishes I started to like.

In Philippines this is a very common side dish for some grilled meats or fish and for some families who are budget conscious a rice and this can be a complete meal, all you need to do is dip it in citrus and chilli infused soy sauce.
