Jeng’s Sisig Okoy: This Is No Ordinary Okoy

Jeng’s Shrimp Okoy adds another yummy flavor to her list … sisig okoy! 😀 Can you imagine … sisig + okoy rolled into one. What do you get? The best pulutan ever!

Revisiting The Good Old Okoy

Okoy (also spelled as ukoy) is a Filipino appetizer that is simple and easy to make. It requires only a few ingredients, which you could find at your local supermarket. Some of these ingredients include shrimp, cornstarch, and peppercorn.

The batter made is then deep-fried in a pan until crispy. It is usually served with vinegar as the dipping sauce. This dish is perfect to eat on its own or with rice! (1)

Okoy is believed to have originated from Laguna. Nonetheless, it’s pretty popular in all the regions and it comes in so many varieties. Okoy could be thin and crispy, while some could be thick and filling. In whatever form it comes, it just tastes so good especially when dipped in vinegar.

Suffice to say, okoy is very versatile. You can eat it as an appetizer, snack, or viand. You can never go wrong with the good old okoy.

The usual okoy doesn’t usually come in flavors. It’s just deep-fried. Then it’s dipped in vinegar for that extra kick .

• Original
• Salt n Vinegar
• Chili-Garlic

• Wasabi
• Hot Spicy

If the other flavors of Jeng’s Shrimp Okoy go so well with beer, the sisig flavor is the best to pair with some cold San Mig Light.

Since I didn’t have any beer, I went with a bottle of red wine and voila! I loved it! You get all the amazing flavors in a single crunch! How good is that?
