Are you one of the calabasa haters? Well if you happen to taste this Kalabasang Okoy (others call it Okoy), I am sure you would then love it. Okoy is a Filipino traditional dish offered in some restaurants, street food carts and small food shops as snack or meryenda in Tagalog. I love the way how to cook it since it does not require much time and also the ingredients are very cheap. So, if you are not one of those "lottery winners" that would spend a hundred bucks just for a snack, then Kalabasang Okoy is recommended to you. Here is how to cook it:
INGREDIENTS

4 cups of Shredded Kalabasa
1 medium size onion, chopped

Cooking oil
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Salt to taste
(dip)
1 cup of vinegar
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 small size onion, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PROCEDURE
1. In a deep pan, heat oil of 1 inch deep.
2. Combine all the ingredients for patties in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
3. Scoop mixture of Kalabasa and shape into patties.
4. Fry patties side by side until golden brown.
5. Dry the excess oil with paper towels.
