Easy to cook and delicious How to Cook Ngo Hiang at Home.

Our easy-to-follow guide will walk you through the steps to create a delicious Ngo Hiang right in your own kitchen. With readily available ingredients and simple instructions, you'll be able to cook a homemade Ngo Hiang that's sure to impress. Ngo Hiang is a popular Filipino dish that originates from Cebu City, located in the Philippines. It's also known as "ngoyong" or "ngohiong roll." This dish is particularly renowned for its unique blend of flavors and the way it is prepared, resembling a roll or spring roll. The main ingredients in Ngo Hiang include minced pork, chopped shrimp, and various vegetables such as carrots, chayote, and scallions. These ingredients are mixed with a medley of spices and seasonings, including garlic, ginger, pepper, and other spices. The mixture is then wrapped in a tofu skin (beancurd) sheets. This wrapping process creates small rolls that resemble spring rolls or lumpia. Once assembled, the Ngo Hiang rolls are deep-fried until the outer layer becomes crispy and golden-brown. The result is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with the crispy exterior contrasting the savory and aromatic interior. Ngo Hiang is often served with a side of chili sauce or vinegar-based dipping sauce, adding a tangy and spicy element to the dish.
