How To Cook Ukoy –Many of us love this dish but most of the
Ukoy we buy is made from squash. This time we are going to cooki this dish
using one of my favorite vegetables, the banana blossom or what we call Puso ng
Saging in Filipino. This dish is very popular in the provinces where Banana is
one of the major crops produced. This one seems tricky but it is not. This one
is healthy too because banana is rich in Potassium and Fiber which are two of
the nutrients needed by our bodies. This Ukoy is one of the cheapest but most
liked snack dishes in the Philippines
and I am sure you are going to love it as well. Here is how to cook Ukoy:
