Here’s one no-meat dish that you can prepare for the Holy Week. I have yet to try cooking this recipe, but I’m sure your kids will love it.

For the okoy:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 pack (8 g) Maggi Magic Sarap Seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1 cup water
1 egg, beaten
3 cups green papaya, grated
1 cup togue (bean sprouts)
oil for frying
1/2 cup small shrimps for topping

For the dip:
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup Maggi Savor seasoning, Classic flavor
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside.

For the okoy:
1. In a bowl, combine flour, Maggi Magic Sarap, salt and pepper.
2. Pour in water and beaten egg. Mix thoroughly to combine.
3. Add grated papaya and togue. Continue mixing until mixture is blended enough to be formed.
4. Form mixture into patties of desired size.
5. Heat oil. Top each uncooked patty with a few shrimps before frying.
6. Fry in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Drain okoy on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve with vinegar dip on the side.
