Korean-Inspired Ukoy (Seafood Fritters)
Filipinos have continually embraced and consumed Korean culture through K-Pop, K-Dramas and K-BBQ, so I’ve decided to add some Korean flavor to a traditional Filipino recipe to spice up the dinner table for Holy Week. Essentially a crispy fried seafood pancake, this Korean-inspired Ukoy brings together the best of both worlds, infusing Korean-style batter with hipon (small shrimp), squid, prawns and a medley of sliced vegetables including buchu (garlic chives), zucchini and carrot. Serve this special dish with two different dipping sauces for more flavor!

Instructions
-
Prepare the mix
- In a large bowl, whisk 2 eggs with Korean pancake mix.
- Pour in around 200 ml water to create a soft and creamy consistency. Avoid wet, and clumpy texture.
- Use a spatula and toss in all the vegetables on the list,
- Next add in krill/baby shrimp and the fish sauce.
- Mix it all in with the spatula as the ingredients are added. Mix well.
-
Pan-fry the pancake
- Heat a shallow pan of cooking oil and add sesame oil.
- Using a small to medium-sized ladle, carefully take one scoop of pancake mixture from the bowl into the pan.
- Place the shrimp and squid on the surface of the pancake like pizza toppings. Spread out the seafood pieces with a 2-5 cm radius (thumbs width) of space in between.
- When the edge of the pancake turns golden brown (after approximately 5 minutes), flip it over carefully.
- After another 5 minutes, the pancake should be done. Carefully set aside on top of a plate with paper towel to dry off excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining mix or keep it in the fridge for even more flavor to be cooked the next day!
-
Make the spicy vinegar dipping sauce
- Add minced garlic, sugar, and sliced chilies to white vinegar or coconut vinegar and mix.
- For a spicier dip, use coarsely chopped chilies instead. Add all the ingredients into the blender and blend.

Slice up the pancakes and enjoy!
