Its Cooking Time
Few days back my mother-in-law asks for the older son to come with her because they are going to harvest her squash in her vast garden in the mountain. When my son got home, he brought a lot of squashes.
We already consumed 4 aside from whats on the photo. We cooked them and served with soup as our viand for how many meals and i observed that kids are getting bored of it😁 so i think of making an "okoy" to achieve another dish out of these squashes. I grated the whole squash, a big one yeah! 🤭. My arms ached and felt tired of it 😅. Because i know that my kids loves okoy and even though they are full, they come back for it later so i decided to prepare the whole big one. (i used the rough shredder when the squash is a bit watery but if its dry i used the medium, i don't use the fine one)
I added the minced garlic, onions, ginger and chopped spring onions, Add the egg to prevent the squash to spread out when you fry it. In every time i prepare an okoy, i ussually use one egg only. Even the Add some flour little by little until the mixture is a bit sticky but not dry . and added salt to taste using a fork so as to prevent the squash to extract much of its water. I didn't include the measurements of my ingredients because it depends on you how much garlic, onion you use. But about the ginger i added it coz' someone is having cold in the house, if you add ginger just a minimal of it, or you can remove it in the list because it can add a bit spicy flavor on the recipe and kids might not like it, i fried it first in the pan before mixing in the squash. Now heat the pan in a medium fire, pour some oil, make it enough that the okoy to be dipped fry. Scoop a teaspoonfull of your mixture and press lightly then drop on the hot oil. I use to pair it with liver sauce but my kids preffered soy and vinegar so i substituted the vinegar with lemon because i never store vinegar in my cupboard. All done!
Thanks for reading🤗

But of course, you can.. Come and enjoy. 😊
ok, thank you...just kidding anyway
I know 🤣 you can try it though.

Ok then
ay wow.. you woke up early to do the grating.. that's good for an early morning coffee
Yeah with pandesal.. Yummy. Kugga ha na. Jaak inpost te kapuy net.
Yummm my sister also cook kalabasa that way and she also told me how to do it because i don't eat kalabasa if it's cooked with coconut milk.
Ooh i love squash with coconut milk with fried fish😍.
Hmm i don't like it's soft mushy texture😣
😅😅😅 Your picky 😁
Hmm hahah i love all veggies i rather eat veggies instead of meat actually but kalabasa, and malunggay are veggies i don't like, both when cooked in coconut milk, but if it's in monggo or other dish i can eat it haha
You have weird tastebuds. 🤣🤣🤣 But i can't stop eating if my viand is mongo.. 😁 Its one of my favorite since childhood.
Yas monggo is delicious especially when it's cooked by my sister haha i have weird taste bud really, i don't like eating longganisa haha i dunno but i feel like I'll vomit, i can eat just a little.😅
Ooh really? You don't like longganisa? My gosh you ready have weird tastebuds🤣🤣🤣. I'm so sorry for you. 🤣🤣🤣
Yeaah i know kaya nasasabihan ako maarte daw🤧🤧🤧 noooo my mouth and stomach just don't accept it huehue
Motherhood really brings out everything like creativity and resourcefulness noh? Hehe
Yes true. I ussually don't do it because i hate grating but my kids prepared the materials and even wash the pan and start to when i made excuses out of it specially when i'm not on the mood. 🤣 Its when they threat me to half the squash and peel it themselves i can't escape anymore. 😁
Hahaha. Kids' drama always works for moms I would say. How old are your kids now?
I have 6 of them but the most makulit is the 7 yr. Old son of mine. He's the one insisting and her 9 yr old sister🤣
Wow. I didn't expect it to be that much. (Sorry for my reaction 😅) I thought you're a mom of two and you're in your late 20s only. I suppose the house is fun and chaotic at the same time. 🙈😅
😊... I hope i will retire.. They are already enough. Even too much bundles of joy.. And wrinkles. 🤣I'm in 30's and yes too much chaotic 🤣🤣🤣
Hehe. But it's really fun most especially if you're intact together in special occasions. How old is your eldest?
Shes 15, i'm a teenage mom once.. I had her in my womb during our highschool grad. I didn't have the chance to continue my studies after that....
I see. Well, I guess the relationship went well because you're given 5 more blessings. 🙏 Do you have plans to go back to school?
You're right in there.. i have plans i even thought of enrolling but i got confused if i would be elligible in college or i will fall as a senior high 😅 because i graduated highschool 15 yrs ago where theres no k-12 back then,🤣🤣🤣 but this time i prefer to concentrate on my kids education.
We have discussed this before in the school where I was teaching but I forgot how it goes to your situation. Here, I searched for an article. https://chedk12.wordpress.com/lifelonglearner/
Thank you for your concern.. I will visit this. And will comeback to you later.
Sure thing. ☺
Seems the availability is only for 2018 enrollees. 😅 In my understanding.
I think so too. Haha, but we can still verify it to other legit sites.
Am still looking but i think i will enroll in vocational.. If only not with this pandemic, i will try in. T. E. S. D. A. They have lots of short courses i can use instNtly after completing the course what do you think?
I guess that's a better choice. In the meantime, you enroll in that short course and find a job after. However, if you still want to finish a degree you can still do so but it's gonna be a long way to go. 😅 What course do you have in mind?
I don't have a plan to have a degree anymore 😁.plans change you know as you get older. I'm planning into taking SMAW. Though my hubby discourage me about it for he thinks its manly but i insist. Only a free time of 1 month i need for the training so i need to wait for my youngest to get older o i can atleast be at peace leaving her For a few days. Our location is far from the training site so... I need to stay overnight avoiding to be late.
Woooa. That's really a manly job. Hihi. But again, what's best to have right now is diskarte eh. A degree could be a factor of one's name, but diskarte tops of it. 😅
You just sad it right dear... 👏👏👏
Hehe. Thanks 😅🙈
Oh my I miss that okoy dear I enjoy eating that especially when there is one shrimp at the top 😂😂. .
Try it sis... I made it to satisfy kids.. They sell it here for 2/ liitle piece but my kids are not satisfied so we cook a lot to their fullest. But when all devoured, i'm gonna worry doing it again. 😅
Ok dear I try, Hope it tastes good also, as you do 😍
It will be... Add some love and itvwill go perfect. 😊
Ohhh is that okoy without the mini shrimps in it?
Yes po, this is abrupt so i wasn't able to buy in the market when i visited to town. One of kids doesn't like it also so i have to segregate his own.
Why don't kids like okoy? It's so good though but we don't put gunger in ours since there's already vinegar for that
No, i mean they don't like shrimps, some of my kids are not use to it... So i prepare the mixture and divide it into two. 😅 With and without shrimps if ever i have added a shrimp in it.
Ohh it's the shrimp they dislike. That's sad :"" the shrimp is what makes okoy delicious and so crunchy though. maybe one day they'll come to like it too
Nice recipe with squash my friend. Kids will love them as it got a new twist, so healthy and delicious too. Thanks it makes me feel hungry again.😆🖒
🤣🤣🤣 @Vladilus it seems you're always hungry.. Yeah you re right, it is healthy and delicious. I can let the kids eat them overload instead of junk foods.
Try make a dessert out of squash , it is good. You just search it on google for the procedures. Your kids will love it very much.
