Kalabasang Ukoy is a Filipino type of fritter made with buttercup squash, carrots and spring onions. Typically served with a sweet and spicy vinegar dip

Ukoy usually is prepared with prawn or shrimps, some version adds buttercup squash, but our post today will be made mostly with buttercup without the prawns. At first you would expect this might be flavourless, well think again, I was surprised as well the I first made it since I usually make ukoy the traditional way and I was used to that shrimp flavour infused on this fritter. While it may not taste shrimpy as you imagine, this one tends to be on the sweet side and its as equally as good. Dip it in a sweet and spicy sawsawan then you’re in business, you will even forget that this does not have shrimp at all.

    What we call or koi is yam cake, Chinese steamed and sliced and deep fried. My girl loves this kind of fritters…even the plain ones.
