Fish Kikiam

Fish Kikiam

January 31, 2020 by Manny

Kikiam or quekiam is a Chinese dish which Filipinos have adopted and made one of their own. Just for the info, the streetfood version of kikiam is not really the authentic kikiam with ground pork and vegetables which is wrapped in dried soy wrapper called taupe or tawpe. Although the smell and taste is somehow identical but I think most of the ingredients in that kikiam is flour.

If you are searching a healthier version of kikiam, then I think fish kikiam is for you. You can use any white flesh fish fillet for making this kikiam. This is perfect if you are abstaining in red meat like pork or beef and wants to eat a healthier version of kikiam. Serve this with sweet chili sauce as a dipping sauce when cooked. Try it! I’m sure you are going to love it!
