Ukoy or sometimes called okoy is a combination of mung bean sprouts, small shrimps, flour, cornstarch, egg, salt and pepper which is mixed to form a batter. Then deep fried until it forms into round shaped crunchy patties. The vegetable used can vary sometimes shredded papaya or shredded cabbage is used. When buying small shrimps in the market, salt water shrimps is better because the shells are not as hard as the fresh water shrimps. Sometimes instead of using fresh shrimps, dried shrimps is a better alternative because the shells is crunchier when fried.
