Polvoron http://www.athomebrew.com/2009/10/polvoron.html http://www.athomebrew.com/2009/10/polvoron.html#comments Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:55:40 +0000 admin http://www.athomebrew.com/?p=236 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> Polvoron has become one of the most loved sweet Filipino delicacies over the years. It is an easy to prepare powdered milk candy, made of flour, sugar, melted butter and powdered milk toasted all together. They are shaped and pressed into round or oval-shaped special molds that can be bought from the grocery or supermarket. Several polvoron variations and flavors exist now: the choco flavour, pinipig, nuts and the latest one is called, chocovron: polvoron coated with dark or white chocolate. Chocovron from Collette’s is my personal favorite. In fact, it was one of my sweet cravings when I was pregnant with my son.

Polvoron has also been a favourite “pasalubong” gifts to overseas friends and family.

Here’s a simple recipe that my sisters and I usually follow whenever we make our own polvoron during our childhood years.

Sweet Treat.

They are served fried or non-fried and fillings vary: pork, beef or vegetables served with sweet and sour sauce. This is Chinese in origin and other Asian countries have their own lumpia versions and variations as well. In Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, it is called “popiah”. In Vietnam, it is known as “cha gio”. In the Philippines, it is called lumpia. The Filipino lumpia is further categorized to two: Lumpiang Ubod – served fresh and wrapped in a crepe-like sheet; and Lumpiang Shanghai, or Fried Spring Rolls or Fried Lumpia.

Lumpia.

Here’s how we usually prepare our Fried Lumpia:
* 1 lb. ground pork
* 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
* 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
* 1 small box of raisins
* 2 whole eggs
* 3 dashes of sesame oil
* salt and pepper, to taste
* 3 tbsp. soy sauce
* lumpia wrapper (1 pack usually has 50 sheets)
* vegetable oil, for frying

Procedure:
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix until well blended.
2. Wrap into thin rolls with a lumpia wrapper. Fry in deep hot oil.
3. Serve with your favorite ketchup or make your own Sweet and Sour Sauce recipe.

To make sauce, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, sugar, water, ginger and garlic in small saucepan. Bring to boil. Stir in cornstarch paste and simmer 5 minutes, or until thickened. Season to taste with salt. Keep warm.

Their arrival would mean a giddy giddy stomach later because they have lots of native foods in tow: homemade longanisa, tinapa, tulya (a clam species that is good for breastfeeding moms, they say), tupig, carabao milk candies, and crunchy chicharon. And the happiest of all, of course, my overly delighted stomach and my son who’ll be feeding from me through my milk. Happy Feasting to me!!!

Here’s the Lechon Cebu (flown in all the way from Cebu really!) we massacred and feasted on during our 2007 Christmas Party. Yummy!
