Recipe: Torta
October 21, 2013
Ever since I bought 1.5 kilos of ground pork due to a sale in S&R, I had been looking for recipes to cook with it. One of the recipes that caught my attention is Wok with Ray‘s Filipino Style Omlette. He made the torta look so delicious that I couldn’t help but plan to cook one myself ASAP.
Today, I finally did it. I changed a bit of the ingredients from Ray’s recipe. I used ground pork instead of ground turkey and made some adjustments in the cooking. It takes time to cook Tortang giniling but after eating it, you’ll feel that it’s all worth it!
- 1 lb ground pork
- 5 eggs, beaten
- 2 pcs small red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp cilantro (wansoy), chopped
- 2 pcs small red onion, diced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3 medium potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- banana ketchup for dipping
- Put oil on the non-stick frying pan over high heat.
- Add diced potatoes until golden brown in color.
- Add garlic & onions. Continue to fry until onion is cooked.
- Add salt & pepper.
- Add ground pork and cook until it’s golden brown.
- Add bell pepper and cook for one more minute.
- Add chopped cilantro (wansoy) and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
- Transfer cooked meat mixture into the bowl with beaten eggs.
- Combine cooked meat and beaten eggs thoroughly.
- Scoop about 3 tablespoonfuls of the meat & egg mixture in the pan.
- You can cook 3 tortas at the same time (depending on how big your pan is).
- Fry each side of the torta until golden brown.
- Repeat process until you used up all your ingredients.
- Serve hot with ketchup.

I might need to shape the omelettes better in the future. Nevertheless, the tortang giniling tasted just the way it should be, I loved it! The experience is ten times much better with ketchup so do not forget 😉
