Tortang talong is a dish I find difficult to cook despite people saying it is easy. The reason is because I just cannot flip it right, haha! So this Tortang Talong and Tuna was successful only because I used a two-way flipping pan. Just letting the kitchen tool help me here, hehe!
No matter if it’s just plain talong with egg or talong with ground meat or talong with Tuna, they are all delicious! So I’m glad I was able to try this recipe out! This is not something I have to split into 2 meals as I can eat one whole tortang talong in one sitting 😃
