Sangkap (Ingredients)
☐250 grams, peeled and deveined Shrimp
☐1 medium, grated Sweet Potato
☐1 cup Mung Bean Sprouts
☐1 medium, finely chopped Onion
☐1 cup All-purpose Flour
☐1 large, lightly beaten Egg
☐1/2 cup, or more as needed Water
☐1 teaspoon Salt
☐1/2 teaspoon Pepper
☐3 cups, for frying Cooking Oil
How to luto (Cooking Steps)
1. In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, mung bean sprouts, and chopped onion. Mix well.
2. Add the peeled shrimp to the bowl. Gently toss to combine.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be like a thick pancake batter. Adjust the water if needed, girl, don't be scared to add more!
4. Pour the batter over the shrimp and vegetable mixture. Gently fold everything together, making sure the ingredients are well coated.
5. Heat the cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Remove the okoy from the pan and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (sweet chili, suka, or even that fancy sriracha mayo). Charot! But seriously, it's up to you.
Tips
Para mas crispy ang Okoy, make sure na hindi masyadong makapal ang batter. And bes, huwag masyadong punuin ang kawali para mag-brown evenly ang lahat ng Okoy. Super importante yan! Wag kang tamad, ha?
