Kikiam

 

    Kikiam is a sausage-like dish that came from China. It quickly became popular in the Philippines after it was introduced. After that, many Filipino recipes now include it as an ingredient.

Ingredients:

1. 500 grams ground pork
2. 1/2 cup shrimp, chopped
3. 1/2 cup grated carrots
4. 1/2 cup jicama (singkamas), finely chopped
5. 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
6. 1/4 cup minced garlic
7. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
8. 1 egg, beaten
9. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
10. 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
11. 1 teaspoon salt
12. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
13. Bean curd sheets (lumpia wrappers)
14. Oil for frying

Procedure:

1. In a big bowl, mix together the ground pork, chopped shrimp, grated carrots, jicama, green onions, garlic, and onion.  
2. Toss in the beaten egg, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good mix until it's all combined nicely.  
3. Cut the bean curd sheets into sizes that are easy to handle.  
4. Put a spoonful of the meat mixture onto each sheet and shape it into a log.  
5. Roll the sheet around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to seal it up.  
6. Keep repeating this until you’ve used up all the filling.  
7. Place the wrapped kikiam in a steamer and steam them for about 20 minutes or until they’re cooked through.  
8. Heat some oil in a deep frying pan.  
9. Deep-fry the steamed kikiam until they’re golden brown and crispy.  
10. Take them out of the oil and put them on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.  
11. Slice the kikiam into bite-sized pieces and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, like sweet chili sauce or vinegar with garlic and chili.
