Can you do carrots next? They’re super cheap and always come in 10-pound bags
Whenever we buy them we always end up with a bunch of old shriveled carrots in our fridge drawer
Don't store them in the fridge unless they are prepped. Store them in a cool dry place. Same as potatoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes etc
I peel them and use it as a vegetable shawarma, it is really delicious and I can use up many carrots that way :)
Peel your old carrots and cover them in icy water to bring it back to live.
Keep your carrots submerged in water in a sterilized glass jar and put it in the fridge. That way, they stay fresh and crunchy for a longer time :)
Quick pickled carrots are DELICIOUS and keep in a mason jar for a long time. Use them on sandwiches and chopped on top of hummus, with pulled pork, any very rich meaty dish.
I really appreciate how Andrew always credits the sources that he referenced in getting to his final dish. I think so often creators don’t do this to add to their own legitimacy (as if they were just born with an innate Rolodex of recipes), but I really like that Andrew acknowledges the people who influenced his dish.
Fully agree!
Now that we got tortang talong, it is about time that Inga makes a 24 hour Filipino food challenge 😁
if it doesn't have rice for every meal, it doesn't count
True!
Immediately clicked the video when I saw the eggplant submerged in the egg. It's my favorite.
@@alyssafernando2074 LMAOOO RIGHT??? I can't be raw dogging a dish without the presence of rice
That tortang talong (omelette) makes me drool.
As an Italian my first thought when buying eggplants is ALWAYS Parmigiana, so this video gets 10/10.
As a Filipino my first thought when I realize I don't have the time/energy to make Parmigiana is ALWAYS tortang talong, so this video gets 100/10 🌟🌟🌟
Would love to see apples when the fall comes around. Lots of both sweet and savory options!
Yes!!!!
This!! A whole seasonal thing!!
Yes yes please!!! I'm drooling just thinking about this! I can't wait for fall flavors!!!
This videos comes just in time as my fridge is full of eggplants!!
All mine are finished 😭
I have SO many right now!!
love the video and the series! thanks for the shoutout :)
I grew up in the countryside in the Philippines raised by my farmer grandparents. We grew corn as our main seasonal crop and different vegetables all year round including 3 varieties of eggplants. I actually grew tired eating tortang talong all my childhood but thankful how many times it saved our starving bellies and will always be thankful for these vegetables that my grandparents so lovingly raised. Recently this dish was rated top 7 best rated egg dish all over the world by TasteAtlas and you can imagine how proud I felt that it's getting recognition not just from Filipinos but people all over the world. I'm now living in Toronto and although egplants and eggs are readily available at the market, I haven't had tortang talong in years. The nostalgic and sentimental feelings food brings us is truly amazing!!! ⭐🍆🥚🏅
Pisting yawaaaa
It's so cool seeing chef Wang being referenced by western cooking channels now, his talent and attention to detail when it comes to professional cooking is really fascinating to see.
You should try eggplant (baingan) bharta, it’s a common dish in indian households
Yesss I love that dish! We have a similar version in Morocco but I still find the Indian one superior bc of the spices 🤌
baingan bharta is so good!! It's the first thing that i thought of when i clicked on this video haha
And there is also something Gujrati's call Oro...it is amazing and another option for an Indian dish with eggplant.
It’s actually so similar to the Melitzanosalata
Yessss bharta is an all time favourite..Also aaloo baingan and baingan raita....Man i love eggplants (not figuratively)
I would love to see a beans video, either canned or from dry (although I prefer dry). It's a relatively cheap and accessible food across incomes and I think this would be really clever! Hope to see it someday!
I am so impressed by whoever is behind the production of this video. The amount of respect - Thank You. The last dish could have been easily called an eggplant omelet but to call it by it’s Tagalog name - Tortang Talong. And even the addition of Giniling. Bravo. The amount of research did not go unnoticed. Thank you❤
tortang talong with giniling isn't good, it makes the torta not crispy
Another absolutely amazing eggplant dish ist Caponata, a sweet&sour Sicilian Eggplant salad. Really good stuff
I think of it as more of an antipasto, but yeah, delicious stuff. 👍
Really good!!
@@gregmuon yeah, but eat enough of it and you'll be full
I love eggplant, I grew up eating it in so many traditional Greek dishes. We really love our eggplant.
So did the Spartans…
Try eggplant parm with only a dusting of flour and pan fry on the eggplant slices sometime. It's lighter but also tastes meatier somehow. I think this style is typical of the part of Italy where my family comes from.
I hope Andrew never stops doing these. These videos singlehandedly inspire me more to try new ingedients than 20 years of convincing from my parents lol
same ! I used to be very stubborn about not liking zuchini and eggplants but now I want to really try cooking some of the dishes Andrew made
I had the eggplant dip first time in Turkey. Totally changed my life. Now I love it so much.
I'm so glad you're able to try tortang talong! And the ketchup in the end completed it! Hahaha or you can also dip it in Soysauce with lemon and chili sauce. I'm glad you liked it!
This is my fav series of this channel, love hearing Andrew’s thoughts on the dishes he’s made and just the overall calming nature of it all 🫶🫶🫶
Oh my goodness how exciting! I was one of the ones who suggested to make tortang talong on your ig story and you actually did it. It looks FANTASTIC! Well done! You did the titas proud.
I LOVE eggplant!!! It's a flavour sponge!!! Best in tomato sauce or in shwarma, grilled!!
Truly great content, thank you! Love the broad and open-minded exploration of ingredients in this series.
it’s really cool that you reference the chefs/youtubers that gave you inspiration. it helps us get a small look into the creative process of coming up with a recipe
They all look delicious but that second one and the last one, wow! They look so appealing. I can't wait to make them, Andrew. Thanks so much - you're a great teacher and so sweet and sincere. [Edited to add: I also appreciate that you reference other TH-cam channels so those channels can get some exposure, too. Very cool of you.]
Oh my god I love this concept!! I’m definitely following you right now
omg!! I love Made with Lao's channel!! So awesome to see you reference legit Chinese homecook recipes
Ahhhhh!! Finally someone uses the spiral eggplant cut! The best way of having eggplant imo lol
Thank you so much for doing this style of video!
It exposes so many recipes for one ingredient I definitely am going to make a few of these especially the cabbage rolls!
Eggplants are an essential part of the levant cuisine. From Mutabbal, baba gannouj, mosaka, maqloubeh to makali with falafel. It was always a part of our weekly meals.
I really love your style of telling hour you‘ve done the things! In most of the cooking videos people do the cooking and tell what they’re doing alongside and your perspective is something different :)
Oh wow, so many new recipes to try. Loved this episode, eggplant is the best vegetable in my opinion and so many people don't know how to appreciate it. In my country we have a couple of good recipes that utilizes that mushy-ness as you mentioned.
Tortang talong is underrated. So simple yet so delicious and healthy.
oh my god i was so excited when you mentioned tortang talong!!! i barely ever see people cook filipino dishes outside of like trying to recreate jolibee or whatever so seeing traditional filipino food made me so happy
I just love everything about this series so much
the recipes are so good! i can't wait to try it, thank you for sharing your knowledge here on youtube 🌟
This is for sure my favorite cooking series on youtube, maybe even favorite series in general on youtube!
i have so much respect for andrew for being so open to trying diverse recipes. he does it so respectfully and executes it beautifully.
This series is such an inspiration to explore and harness the potential of simple ingredients, keep it up!
I’m so glad to have seen tortang talong!!! My grandma used to make this for breakfast often and oh how I miss it
AKI'S KITCHEN IS A FAVORITE CHANNEL!!! Such good recipies in general. love this series!
I love watching these videos! I always learn something new when I watch these. I feel like rice needs to make an appearance in this playlist. It always comes in huge bags and it's SUPER versatile. You can have it as a main or side, you can make bread, crackers, and cakes with it, it can be fried, etc. Cheese would be another one I'd be excited to see💚
in case u didn't know already, the simplest eggplant recipes are the most delicious.
1. steam the eggplants whole until fork tender (the softer the better)
2. rip the skins off
3. cut into small chunks
4. drizzle either some (very) good soy sauce on top or aged balsamic vinegar
5. if u put soy sauce, then add some fried (burnt) shallots and/or garlic on top with the oil used for frying
LOVE eggplant. And as a Filipino, I’m happy you were able to make and enjoy tortang talong! If you were to make it again, try it with a little fish sauce drizzled on top at the end. And then as always, enjoy it with rice.
Awesome and looks so yummy! THanks for sharing! Have a great day!
Thankyou , thankyou , thankyou, well done ! So joyed to see new spectacular recipe for a favoured vegetable
Love these vids keep them coming
So glad you chose eggplant! Really creative ways to use it. In the last couple years, I've come to really enjoy eggplant when it's cooked right. This makes me want to run out and buy eggplant so I can try some of these out
great video! thank you so much andrew
THANK YOU ANDREW!!! I'M GONNA USE TONS OF THESE RECIPES SOON!!
I’m in love with this series. :) Also, you could also have made “Aaloo Baingan” which is a dish eaten with Roti (Indian flatbread), and has potatoes and eggplant. There’s also a VERY TASTY (and MY personal favourite), “Baingan Bhartha”, which is made almost the same was as the dish you made by grilling the eggplants. Another one is a simpler one, wherein you grill the eggplant, and put it in curd with all the masalas, it’s called “Baingan Raita”. These are the most common North Indian ones I can think of.
This was my favourite segment of ATE. Please cook more, Andrew ❤ You’re awesome in the kitchen.
luv all of ur videos!! i hope u make more 💖💖
Long time fan of the series, but was pleasantly surprised today that you made tortang talong! And now I have a hankering to make it for breakfast.
Andrew just does such a good job with this series
I agree - that perfectly creamy interior texture that still retains its meatiness is the best part of eggplant. Soooooo good.
YES! I'm so happy you made tortang talong! Growing up Filipino, it's literally my favourite dish and eggplants are my favourite vegetable. :)
These seems are so nice,and the鱼香茄子you did is just so great🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for sharing the recipe
love to see melitzanosalata and akis's channel featured in your videos! eggplant is such a challenge because i feel like oddly enough it is an acquired taste. well done!
What a great version of голубці ! I made mine (non vegeterian) version of gołąbki literally yesterday. Honestly, I must admit that this series is one of my favorite cooking show
I always have trouble with this, you made me salivate man, loving this series
Ngl
Really a beautiful episode with awesome dishes
I'm so glad you made fish fragrant eggplant. It's one of my family's favorite dishes ever
Love this series
Wow I really want to make that ratatouille stuffed cabbage! Great idea!
This is one of the most unique video in the series. 💪
I really liked this video! Eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables but I mostly just eat in ratatoille or pisto as we call in Spain, or in moussaka, so delicious.
Oh man, thanks for featuring tortang talong. I haven't had it in such a long time I've kind of forgotten about it.
As an eggplant lover, i will be trying all of these! Thanks!
My favourite part visually was Adam preparing the cabbage.
The green of the leaves looked extra appetizing and it reminded me of a montage from a film.
I have literally been dying for a new episode to this series!!
So happy you made 鱼香茄子 🍆 it’s one of my all time favorite dishes and used to eat it all the same when I lived in China 🇨🇳
I’m so happy my suggestion of Tortang Talong was taken by Andrew!!
tortang talong looks amazing. I've got to try it. I've seen something similar, but it was flattened like this, and steamed with garlic topping on the eggplant.
The rotating eggplant cut for the fish fragrant eggplant is so legit *chef's kiss* so authentic
Panlasang Pinoy and Simpol! Two of the best TH-cam channels on Filipino food!
Literally my favorite vegetable. Fish fragrant eggplant is already my favorite dish that I cook. Cant wait to try all of these. Especially that breakfast one, looks pretty easy especially now that I'm restricted to a university apartment.
Chef Wang and Made with Lau are two of my favorite channels!
Great video. I am sure you know about the freezing cabbage head trick for cabbage rolls. Nice alternative to boiling the cabbage. When thawed the leaves are nice and soft and easy to roll.
I LOVE eggplant!!! I’ve tried so many dishes bc I basically eat them everyday lmao
Andrew (and everyone) try coating the pieces in cornstarch before frying in oil (I cut them exactly like in the fish fragrant eggplant), they get this amazing chewy yet crunchy texture, holds very well even w sauces - it absorbs it without loosing its crunchiness! It’s seriously game changing
Yuuuummmmmm. My dad gave me free rein to try vegetarian dishes for like two weeks. Cabbage, eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes and zucchini will be on the menu, along with flatbread pizzas
I had hunch Tortang Talong would make the list when I saw Eggplant as main ingredient. Thank you for making it.
Include Garlic Fried Rice, some dried/smoked fish (Tinapa or Daing), a vinegar sauce and a cup of coffee. Classic Filipino Breakfast right there.
AAAAHHHH so glad you cooked tortang talong, especially as a Filipino! Love all your works, Andrew!!! Thank you!
i love this series! not related but have you ever considered attempting georgian cuisine? many dishes such as ajipsandali and nigvziani badrijani feature eggplant and are soo tasty
Tortang talong is one of my fave.. I'm just so happy it was featured here.. 🤗🤗🤗
ahh so excited to see a filipino dish! and you definitely made an amazing rendition of tortang talong!
Super stoked that you did and liked my suggestion of the Tortang talong. I bet all the filipino community got really excited about this, and now it's Inga's turn doing 24h filipino dishes :D
Been waiting for this one.
In the Caribbean we have something similar to melitzanosalata, before roasting the eggplant we make piercings and stuff garlic into the slits ( i usually add alot of garlic) and roast it along with tomatoes. When its done roasting its cleaned off and mashed, we add onions and spring onions and whatever herbs you want and we have it as a dip mostly with roti
Waooo Great recipe 👍
I just want to remake EVERYTHING. Love eggplants, and tortang talong is perhaps the dish i can eat for the rest of my life.
okay, i never expected you'll cook tortang talong. As I read the title, in my mind, I already mentioned tortang talong. wooow ang sarap. very simple dish but delicious
hehe im happy to hear made with lau mentioned here, they’re one of my favourite channels
I like how you guys added two separate videos of egg and plants in the intro 😂❤️
really surprised you didnt make baba ganoush or eggplant with tahini and lemon thats a classic.
enjoying these vids
Finally, a Filipino dish!!!!!! I'm so happy that you chose tortang talong, my favorite talong dish! I'm hoping to see more Filipino dish in this channel please.
Two things I've been eating every day all summer are cucumbers and joghurt - I'd be super excited to see a video on one of those! Both are very versatile, good for either raw or cooked foods, blended into something else or on their own, sweet or savoury... so many options :))
I was not expecting you to do tortang talong!! Literally my top 5 memories from the philippines
Wow cool! I love eggplant and we rarely see them in recipes
I love egg plant! I’m gonna try and grow some this year in my garden. This recipes is great I am going to make this for my family! They will love it. Your clear presentation makes it look so easy and delicious. I also make TH-cam videos and I feel so lucky to be able to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope to learn more from each other.
Really loving these videos, Andrew! I'm always looking into a more exciting ways of cooking a vegetable. Would be interested to see some inspiration for some less mainstream vegetables like Jerusalem artichoke, kale, leek or turnips... the kind of vegetables I see at the grocery store but avoid because I have no idea what to do with them.
