Squash Ukoy (Fritters)

As promised in my previous post using half of the squash I harvested from the garden in my katsuobushi Squash soup, here is the recipe for squash ukoy or fritters. In the Philippines, we love fritters. We have cassava fritters, banana fritters, sayote fritters, sweet potato fritters and the list can go on. 

1 cup flour

3 eggs, beaten

Salt and pepper

Water

1/4 kilo squash, french fries cut

Garlic and onion

Oil for frying

In a deep bowl, put the flour, beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with water. Mix well and avoid lumps. 

Add the squash, garlic and onion. Mix well.

In a frying pan, heat oil. Fry into a pancake 2 tablespoons of mixture until golden brown. Repeat until all is done.
