Man the smell of this meal is so good. And the taste is even better.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN EATING UKOY:

When you eat this Ukoy, expect crunch due to the shrimp shells, but they are so soft, they just slide through your tongue.

UKOY COOKING PROCESS:

Since we are not in PI, you will find it challenging to find Krill, but if you happened to be in an Asian store, look for Krill in the frozen section. They are pre packed and cost about just $3.00. Asian store seldom carry them, so if you find them, get a ton.

There are several ways to make Ukoy and various ways for the ingredients. You can add togue, sweet potato, or just about anything you fancy about, but in this Ukoy recipe, let’s use my mom’s recipe, so we ‘ll use least amount of ingredients here : Krill, onion and garlic powder, eggs, salt and most, cornstarch to bind the ingredients together.

I made a mistake of clumping a huge batch and the ingredients splattered all over the oil. So don’t do that.
