UKOY (FILIPINO SHRIMP AND VEGETABLE FRITTERS)
Steps:
- For the Dipping Sauce : In a small bowl, stir together vinegar, fish sauce, garlic, and chile; set aside.
- For the Ukoy Fritters : In a separate small bowl, combine shrimp, fish sauce, and soy sauce; set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine bean sprouts, carrots, and sweet potato, and toss to combine. In a medium bowl, whisk together water, rice flour, and salt until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, add batter to large bowl with vegetable mixture, and fold together until vegetables are evenly coated.
- Heat oven to 200°F (95°C). Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C). To form ukoy fritters, use your fingers to mound roughly 1/2 cup (85g) of the vegetable mixture in single layer in a large heatproof spoon. Nestle 1 shrimp in the center, top with a second 1/2 cup (85g) of vegetable mixture, and gently press down to form a 3-inch disc. Using another large heatproof spoon or spatula, carefully slide ukoy off spoon into oil (don't worry if the ukoy separates slightly during frying), then form a second ukoy, and slide into oil. Fry until golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted metal spatula, carefully flip ukoy over and continue to fry until golden brown on second side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, season lightly with salt, then transfer to oven to keep warm.
- Using a spider skimmer, skim any browned bits of batter from oil, and discard. Return oil to 375°F (190°C) and repeat process with remaining vegetable mixture and shrimp.
- Transfer ukoy to a plate and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
