Crispy Tortang Alamang Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Oil divided
• 80 Grams alamang
• 6 medium eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 Cup Chinese chives (kutsay) chopped

Instructions

 

• In a preheated pan with 2 tablespoons of oil, saute garlic and dried alamang together. When the alamang is crispy, set it aside in a strainer to remove excess oil.
• Beat eggs, then add salt, pepper, kutsay, and half of the cooked alamang. Set aside half of the cooked alamang as a crunchy topping.
• Preheat the frying pan with the rest of the oil. Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture and fry until golden brown and crisp. Cook 2 at a time. Drain excess oil in a strainer.
• Serve each piece with the remaining crispy dried alamang on top and the mayonnaise on the side.
