looks like okoy-cum-tikoy. . .well, it's not . . .
it should have been my favorite ilocos empanada.
my version was super oily, gooey and tikoy-ish . . .iwi! actually, there were crunchy portions and that with the rest of the ingredients tasted good. . . still, it was a mega disaster . . . pang national geographic! . . .blame it to X who gave me the recipe for the dough! bwahaha! everything was spot on until i was about to slowly drop the empanada in hot cooking oil . . .the dough started to crumble and all hell broke loose before it reached the pan . . .thus, the result.
our household help, F, talked to hubby this morning: "kuya, pakibili mo na lang lagi si ate nung empanada. parang nag tsunami sa kusina kagabi sa dami ng inilabas na gamit tsaka 1 litro ng mantika ang ginamit para sa 1 empanadang mukhang nilupak na maruya . . " tsk . . .tsk . . .
i feel that this will be a very long and winding road to perfection . . .

Z, it looks yummy for an okoy.Or, yes! F was right. It's maruya, okay!!! Bwahahaha! Peace!You're not alone. I tried that rice flour too, days ago. Same results. BH tried to ease my frustration by using flour instead. Shape was okay but when you sink in your teeth for the first bite, it's like eating donut with a filling! Another wahaha! Good luck to us. Can't wait for Y to try it too.
