Papaya Ukoy or Papaya Okoy

Tweet0Pin0Share0Yummly0

A tasty ukoy dish made from grated green papaya and fresh small shrimps. The usual ukoy is made from toge and shrimps and I think substituting it with other kinds of vegetable like the unripe green papaya is a better choice specially if toge is not available.

To make papaya ukoy: Mix flour, salt, pepper and water together to make a smooth batter. Add grated papaya and onion. Place 2-3 tablespoons of mixture in a saucer to form patties and press 2-3 shrimps on top. In a large pan or wok, heat cooking oil. Deep fry the patties until golden brown and crispy. Drain in absorbent paper towels. To see the complete recipe with lists of ingredients in exact measurements, continue reading.
