Spicy Cheese Sticks Recipe

Make the dip: Place 2 red peppers, seeded, chopped, and 1 tablespoon water in a blender and puree before mixing into 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Meanwhile, blend siling labuyo, cheese, powdered milk, and black pepper together until a sticky dough-like mixture forms. Place a molo wrapper on a cutting board. Roll a heaping teaspoonful into a 2-inch long log, and place in the center of the wrapper. Fold wrapper over the cheese and then fold the sides to close. Dampen the wrapper’s far edge and seal closed. Repeat with the remaining cheese.

To serve, heat oil for deep frying, and quickly deep fry sticks until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately with red pepper dip. 


TIP: You can do steps 1 and 2 in advance and freeze until ready to serve.
