I got some molo (Molo is a town in Iloilo famous for this dish) dumplings from my Ilongga cousin in Florida. I just made the broth with chicken stock, shredded chicken, garlic and onion. I added my own twist with sun dried tomato for a bit of twang and some saffron for color. Topped it with scallions and fried garlic.
Panakot (Ingredients):
Molo:
- Wonton wrapper
- Ground Pork
- Garlic
- Scallion
- Salt and Peppah
- For a twist add chopped shrimp (this will move it a bit more to the chinese wonton soup, but will add some sweetness to the dumpling. Also it was the chinese who brought this to Iloilo)
- For a sachi twist add shredded fresh coconut and cilantro
Paagi (Procedure) :
Molo Dumplings:
Mix ingredients together in a bowl. Scoop half a teaspoon of the mix and wrap it in the wonton wrapper. I don’t have patience for this types of dish that’s why I love it when someone gives it to me hehe
The Broth:
The broth is basically chicken soup with lots of crunchy fried garlic and shredded chicken. The secret is really good chicken and pork stock (Chicken bones and pork neck bones, ham hocks etc) I added some dried tomato for a high note but this is optional. Add some saffron for color.
Quick and easy …except for wrapping the wonton
Enjoy!
