Ilocano Okoy Tiyosko Recipe

Combine squash, bean sprouts, carrots, longganisa, shrimp, and malunggay leaves in a large bowl. Mix well. Set aside. 

Combine cornstarch, flour, paprika, salt, pepper, eggs, and water in another bowl. Mix well. Set aside. 

Add and heat about 1-inch oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. 

Combine about 1/2 cup squash mixture and 2 tablespoons cornstarch batter in a shallow plate. Slide this mixture into the hot oil in the frying pan, forming a round patty. Fry until crisp and golden on both sides, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Drain okoy on paper towels. Serve okoy hot with vinegar on the side.
