Easy to cook and delicious Recipe of Ngohiong .

This mouthwatering dish is all about good times and great flavors. With the finest ingredients and a sprinkle of kitchen creativity, our Ngohiong is a culinary adventure you won't want to miss. Ngohiong is a popular Filipino dish that originates from Cebu City, located in the Philippines. It's also known as "ngoyong" or "ngohiong roll." This dish is particularly renowned for its unique blend of flavors and the way it is prepared, resembling a roll or spring roll. The main ingredients in Ngohiong include minced pork, chopped shrimp, and various vegetables such as carrots, chayote, and scallions. These ingredients are mixed with a medley of spices and seasonings, including garlic, ginger, pepper, and other spices. The mixture is then wrapped in a tofu skin (beancurd) sheets. This wrapping process creates small rolls that resemble spring rolls or lumpia. Once assembled, the Ngohiong rolls are deep-fried until the outer layer becomes crispy and golden-brown. The result is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with the crispy exterior contrasting the savory and aromatic interior. Ngohiong is often served with a side of chili sauce or vinegar-based dipping sauce, adding a tangy and spicy element to the dish.
