Ukoy Dulong Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ukoy Dulong is a type of Filipino fish fritter with mung bean sprouts. This is one ukoy version that I like most because dulong is one of my favorite fish. I like this fish variety because it is tasty. It is also convenient to prepare and eat. Since these are very tiny (it is around 1/10 the size of anchovies or dilis), I can eat it right away after cooking.

How to Make Dulong Ukoy

Ukoy is commonly consumed for meryenda. It best when dipped in spicy vinegar. When I was still in Manila, I remember having this along with vegetable egg roll and a bottle of soda pop. On some occasions, I can eat ukoy dulong with rice. However, I prefer it to be eaten all by itself because I can enjoy its taste and crisp texture better.

Ukoy dulong crispy

Ukoy is best enjoyed when it still hot and crispy. I suggest consuming it within the next 10 minutes after cooking. I also recommend that you share it with your friends and family. It is always best to have a good  conversation while enjoying your food.

Alternative ingredients

There are quite a few alternative ingredients to the small fish. Dilis or anchovy can be used, provided that you cook it a little bit longer until crispy. I suggest using dried small anchovies instead of the fresh ones. You can add it directly to the mixture or dip it in vinegar first until it turns a bit softer. Shrimp is always best for ukoy. The smaller varieties of shrimp are perfect.

Mung bean spouts have been the most common ingredient used when cooking this dish. Sometimes I use julienned carrots, or even kalabasa (squash). You can choose one or the other, and you may even mix these all together to make a vegetable version of ukoy.

    How do I prolong the crispness of this okoy? I noticed that after a few hours, it becomes tough and chewy.

      It is meant to be eaten right away. However, you can prolong it a bit by adding more cornstarch into the mixture.
