Poqui Poqui is a vegetable dish that originated in the province of Ilocos. You can quickly cook this at home because it only requires easy-to-find ingredients and a simple way of cooking. The taste is close to tortang talong but it is more flavorful due to added ingredients such as tomato, onion, and garlic.

Ingredients:

• 4 pcs large eggplant
• 2 pcs tomato, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pc medium onion, sliced
• 4 egg
• 1/4 cup spring onion, chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
