Poqui poqui — Philippines

Poqui poqui (also spelled puké puké, poké poké or pukí pukí) is a Filipino scrambled egg dish from the Ilocos Region in northwestern Luzon, Philippines. It is made with roasted eggplant, sautéed garlic, onions, tomatoes, eggs, and fermented fish sauce, locally known as buggúong or bagoong isda. The dish has a savory, smoky, and creamy flavor and is commonly served as a main course with steamed rice or as an accompaniment to grilled meat or fish. Poqui poqui is often compared to tortang talong, another Filipino eggplant-based dish. Unlike tortang talong, which is typically pan-fried as a whole omelette, poqui poqui is prepared by mashing the roasted eggplant and gently scrambling it with eggs, resulting in a softer, creamier texture. It is usually seasoned with fermented fish sauce rather than salt or soy sauce. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q81615502) and Wikipedia.
