The sauce used varies according to consumers’ or cooks’ preferences. But some of the commonly used sauces are: mayonnaise, mayonnaise mixed with ketchup, and sweet-and-sour sauce. The recipe below uses cheddarcheese as the main cheese ingredient, and you can modify the kind of cheese to incorporate in the future.

In your next family holiday, don’t forget to bring dozens of cheese sticks for you and thegroup to enjoy. Or you could cook up a special sauce to be served with your very owncheese sticks for that special someone and make it a date to remember with a touch of ‘cheezy-ness’.

Ingredients:

• 10-15 lumpia wrappers
• 100 grams (3.5 oz.) cheddar cheese
• oil for deep frying
• water for sealing lumpia wrappers

Cooking Instructions:

1. Steam the lumpia wrappers for about 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Slice the cheese into 10-15 sticks, each about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Put each stick in a lumpia wrapper. Seal each.

Mamon Recipe

                          

                                  

 

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 8 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons grated orange pee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1/3 cup water
• 8 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup white sugar

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F and grease 16 muffin cups. Stir the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the oil, egg yolks, grated orange peel, vanilla extract, orange juice, and water. Mix well by until no lumps
2. Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy in a large glass or metalmixing bowl. Gradually add the 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold the flour mixture into the egg whites. Pour the resulting batter into the prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
