Cook Vegetable Ukoy, Togue
Since we are a family of three, depending on some occasions, every time we buy a pack of Togue (Mung Bean Sprouts) that usually weighs approximately 500 grams, I divide it into two portions.
And since prices of most commodities are soaring at the moment, we need to save money, at least for now. J
I already cooked the first portion as Ginisang Togue with Tofu, conveniently available for you to check it out if you're interested in knowing how we cooked it.
The second is my wife's favorite request (one out of several), the Vegetable Ukoy.
It is typical to include shrimp in an Ukoy (AKA Okoy) dish.
But we’ll only use Togue as the main ingredient, without the shrimp.
It's a great dish that can be a snack on its own, or viand that can go along with a hot cup of rice (or a special kind of Fried Rice that we also have in store for you).
Try it! We are sure that both kids and adults will love it!
We'll assume you like fried foods. And since you do, check our easy to make Homemade Daing na Bangus.

- Chopping Board and Knife

The Vegetable Ukoy can be a snack on its own. And since we use most common ingredients like egg and Togue, typical for a viand, it is also enjoyable to have it with rice.
- 250 g Togue or Mung Bean Sprouts (Clean under running water and drain.)
- 1 Mdium-sized Onion (Finely chopped.)
- 3 Stalks of Spring Onion (Chopped.)
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cup Corn Starch
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Iodized Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 3/4 cup Water
- Initial Prep for Vegetable Ukoy Ingredients
First, prepare a clean mixing bowl for all of the ingredients.
- Let's mix all the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Bring in the water and break over these ingredients.

- Now, add the onion, spring onion, and Togue to the mixture. Mix everything.
- How to Cook Vegetable Ukoy, Togue
You can use a small ladle for scooping the mixture, which will also serve as your measurement for each serving.
- Heat a pan and pour a considerable amount of oil to use for frying our Vegetable Ukoy.
- Fry each side for about 5 to 8 minutes (depending on the intensity of the fire), or until golden brown.
- Our Vegetable Ukoy with Togue as its main ingredient is now ready.
- Serve with some dippings on the side, e.g., ketchup, vinegar.
Fry until you are satisfied with its crispness. Please do not over fry as it will produce a bitter after-taste.
