Рецепт Kalingking

by Ang Sarap

Kalingking is a native delicacy from the Bicol region and it is made out of pan fried battered sliced sweet potatoes. My mom and my grandparents are from Bicol so this gets cooked a lot at home when I was a child and served during merienda. It’s quite easy to make and it is very nutritious and very filling like most of the merienda my grandmother usually prepares like suman, cassava cake, ginataang halo halo, ginataang kamoteng kahoy, etc.

This types of snacks reminds me of childhood, how about you do have any snacks that remind you of your younger years? Any special recipe that your grandmother, mother or aunties make?

Kalingking

2 large yellow sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thick matchsticks ½ cup flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 cup milk 2 eggs pinch of salt sugar oil

In a bowl combine together flour, baking powder, milk, salt and egg. Mix well until smooth. Add the sweet potatoes. Heat oil in a pan then arrange a clump of sweet potatoes, gently place it in the hot oil and flatten it with a spatula. Do it with the remaining sweet potato mixture but do not overcrowd. Turn heat to low then fry until golden brown in colour. Place in a paper towel lined plate prior to serving to remove excess oil. Sprinkle sugar on top before serving. 3.2.2925
