About Ilokano empanada
Ilokano Empanada is a savory street food delicacy hailing from the Ilocos region of the Philippines. This crisp, orange-hued pastry is made with a rice flour dough colored with annatto seeds, encasing a flavorful filling typically consisting of green papaya, mung bean sprouts, egg, and longganisa (local pork sausage). The empanada is deep-fried to golden perfection, giving it a crunchy exterior and a satisfying bite. Rich in protein from the egg and sausage, it also offers fiber from the papaya and bean sprouts, making it a balanced snack in moderation. However, its deep-fried preparation lends a high calorie and fat content, which may be of concern for those monitoring their fat intake. Ilokano Empanada is a vibrant and delicious treat that reflects the hearty flavors and culinary traditions of northern Philippine cuisine. Moderation is key to enjoying this iconic dish without compromising healthy eating goals.
