Off the Bookshelf: Filipino Baked Eggs With Tomato and Eggplant

A combination of eggs, tomato, eggplant, fish sauce, and Edam cheese might sound bizarre — unappetizing, even — but before you shy away, let me implore you to give this savory and satisfying breakfast bite a chance.

A combination of eggs, tomato, eggplant, fish sauce, and Edam cheese might sound bizarre — unappetizing, even — but before you shy away, let me implore you to give this savory and satisfying breakfast bite a chance. A ramekin-bound spin on poqui poqui, a Northern Philippines eggplant and egg scramble of sorts, this exotic option tastes fabulous rather than funky, as the fish sauce and Edam cheese add an umami punch rather than a domineeringly cheesy or fermented flavor.

Add to its virtues a solid dose of Summer vegetables, its ease of preparation, and a brunch-friendly nature, and it quickly becomes clear why you'll be singing its praises on first bite. If this creative take on an Ilocano classic is any indication of the quality of content tucked between the pages of The Adobo Road Cookbook, then I'll be coming back to this cookbook for further inspiration with fervor, and you should follow suit.

Chili-Glazed Salmon With Bok Choy

Recipe Notes

Why this recipe works: This foolproof recipe brings pan-seared salmon, a restaurant favorite for its irresistible crust and rich flavor, home. We match it with an Asian-inspired glaze and bok choy for a complete meal, which we make using a single skillet. After whisking together our glaze, we brown the bok choy to deepen its flavor and add visual appeal, then set it aside and cook the salmon. Next the glaze goes into the pan and coats the fish. Returning the bok choy to the skillet after setting the fish aside to rest quickly cooks it through and coats it with the remaining sauce. If using farmed salmon, which is fattier than wild, you will likely have to discard excess rendered fat from the pan before making the sauce.

Chili-Glazed Salmon With Bok Choy

Ingredients

1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 heads baby bok choy (4 ounces each), halved lengthwise
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets, 1 1/4 inches thick
Salt and pepper
Lime wedges

Directions

  1. Whisk chili sauce, fish sauce, ginger, and cornstarch together in small bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering. Cook bok choy, cut side down,until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.Turn and continue to cook until lightly browned on second side, about 1 minute. Transfer to platter.
  2. Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to now-empty skillet and heat over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook salmon until browned on both sides and center is still translucent when checked with tip of paring knife and fish registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Pour off any rendered fat in skillet. Add chili sauce mixture to skillet with salmon and flip fish once or twice to coat. Transfer fish to platter.
  3. Add bok choy to skillet with glaze and stir until coated. Serve with salmon and lime wedges.
