Taro Rosti
Makes 15

Ingredients
2 lb taro root (about 1 medium)
1 onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
4 tablespoons oil

Directions
Peel the taro and grate into a bowl.
In the same bowl, grate the onion. Add salt and pepper. Mix well.
Form fairly flat patties about 4 to 5 inches in diameter, squeezing the excess liquid.
Heat pan with oil at medium-high heat.
Fry the rösti about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Place on a plate covered with paper towels.
Repeat until there is no more taro mixture.
Serve hot.

Ukoy
Makes 10

Ingredients
1 carrot
1 big handful of bean sprouts (mung or soy)
4 scallions
10 small shrimp
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup water
3 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
2-3 tsp. fish sauce (I do 2 if I use dried shrimp)
2 cloves garlic, minced and then made into a paste with your knife

Directions

Mix the ingredients together.

You must either have a deep iron skillet, fry-daddy or a wok that can hold about 2-3 inches of peanut oil. Bring the peanut oil to about 330-360ºF degrees and hold it there. USE AN OIL THERMOMETER. Once you have the oil just right, shape the Ukoy mixture onto a metal Asian ladle/wire mesh. Sometimes I use a spatula and a metal ring/mold. Quickly slide the mixture into the hot oil. You only need about 1 minute on each side and then you are done.
