Easy Buchi Recipe

Buchi or Butsi is a popular Chinese dessert that Filipinos love. It is a common dessert served in Chinese restaurants in the Philippines. Buchi is a variant of Jiandui, a type of fried Chinese pastry made from glutinous rice flour. The pastry is coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is crisp and chewy. Inside the pastry is a large hollow, caused by the expansion of the dough. The hollow of the pastry is filled with a filling usually consisting of lotus paste, or alternatively sweet black bean paste, or red bean paste. They are also sometimes referred to as sesame balls.

The Filipino Buchi is a sweet rice cake with red bean paste inside and covered with sesame seeds outside. Fastfood chains, like Chowking, have buchi in their menu. The buchi in our recipe has red bean paste as the main ingredient. Other variants use ube as a filling.

Easy Tortang Talong Recipe

Tortang Talong (eggplant omelet) is a fritter from Filipino cuisine made by pan-frying grilled whole eggplants dipped in an egg mixture.

Easy Tortang Talong Recipe

Tortang Talong (eggplant omelet) is a fritter from Filipino cuisine made by pan-frying grilled whole eggplants dipped in an egg mixture. It is a popular lunch meal in the Philippines. Tortang Talong is also a staple in the menu of Filipino cuisine restaurants and carinderias (eateries).

The basic tortang talong recipe starts with grilling the entire eggplant until the flesh is soft and the skin becomes charred. This should be possible in a charcoal grill, a baking pan, or over a direct flame, like on a gas stove with the eggplant wrapped in aluminum foil. The grilling gives the eggplant a distinct smoky flavor. The charred skin is then peeled off with the stalk being retained. The fleshed is mashed flat using a fork. The flesh is then dipped into a beaten egg mixture seasoned with salt. Other variations use a salt and spice mixture. The eggplant is then fried until the outside is brown and crispy.

The most common variety of eggplant in the Philippines is the long and slender purple kind. If the larger and rounder eggplant variety is to be used, the eggplant may need to be halved, with the stalk still attached, so it can be grilled more evenly.

Tortang talong is usually served with rice. It is eaten best with a dipping sauce like soy sauce, vinegar, banana ketchup, etc. Additional seasoning may be used like black pepper, calamansi, or chilis. It can also be served as a side dish to meat dishes.

A good dish to pair the Tortang Tolang is with Crispy Pata.
