Procedure

  1. GRIND. In a blender or food processor, add galunggong, carrots, ginger, garlic, egg, flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and sugar. Blend until well-incorporated and smooth. Set aside. Do the same for the squid balls and kikiam. Then set aside.
  2. WRAP. For the kikiam, place the kikiam wrapper on a clean surface. Put 1/4 cup of Kikiam filling shaped into a log then roll the sheet tightly, wrapping the filling. Moisten the edges to seal the wrap. Do this until all filling has been used.
  3. STEAM. Using a steamer, place kikiam on top of boiling water and allow steam to flow. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Let cool then slice into diagonal pieces. Set aside.
  4. POACH. Meanwhile, to make the homemade squid and fish balls, in a pot with 2 cups water simmering, get at least 1 Tbsp. fish balls mixture and form into a ball then cook until they float. Do the same for the squid balls mixture. Drain on a strainer or collander. Set aside.
  5. DEEP-FRY. In a pan, heat oil. Fry fish ball, squid ball, and kikiam until light brown. Drain excess oil using a strainer or collander.
  6. SERVE. Serve homemade balls on barbecue sticks and kikiam on the side with SARSAYA® Sweet and Sour Sauce. Enjoy while hot.

Cooking Tips

In making squid balls, blend 1/4 kilo squid with the other ingredients and dice the other 1/4 kilo to have squid bits in the balls for added texture. For Kikiam, you can serve it either stemed or deep fried.
