Notes

  • Although the grill or gas stove provides a quicker way to roast eggplants, you can also roast them in the oven. Arrange the eggplants on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer, lightly brush with oil, and pierce a few times with a fork. Roast in 400 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until softened.
  • Turn off the heat while the eggs are still slightly wet as they will continue to cook with the residual heat from the pan.
  • In place of salt, you can season the dish with fish sauce or bagoong isda.
