Tortang Talong Katsu
Recipe IB: riemcclenny 
A playful fusion of Filipino tortang talong (eggplant omelet) and Japanese katsu. Smoky eggplant coated in egg and crisp panko is deep-fried until golden, then paired with a sweet-savory katsu sauce. Perfect with hot steamed rice.
Ingredients
* 2 Chinese eggplants
* 3 eggs
* 1–2 cups panko breadcrumbs
* Neutral oil, for frying
* 2 tsp chicken powder (or salt & pepper to taste)
Katsu Sauce
* ½ cup ketchup
* 2 ½ Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
* 2 ½ Tbsp soy sauce
* 4 tsp sugar

Instructions
1. Char the Eggplant
 * Grill or roast the eggplants over open flame or under a broiler until skin is blistered and charred.
 * Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes. Peel off the skin and discard.
2. Prepare the Egg Coating
 * In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs with chicken powder (or salt and pepper).
 * Gently flatten each peeled eggplant with a fork to spread it out. Dip into the seasoned egg mixture, pressing so the egg soaks in.
3. Bread the Eggplant
 * Dredge the egg-dipped eggplant in panko, pressing lightly so the crumbs adhere evenly.
4. Fry the Katsu
 * Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Deep-fry the eggplant for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
 * Drain on a wire rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
5. Make the Sauce
 * In a small bowl, mix ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and sugar until smooth.
6. Serve
 * Drizzle katsu sauce over the fried eggplant or serve on the side. Enjoy with hot steamed rice.
