How to cook Ube Buchi
Ube Buchi Recipe - Filipinos are fond of malagkit or sticky foods. One of the reasons is because of the strong Chinese influence in our culture. We eat pancit because we believe it will make us live longer, and Tikoy to make luck will stick to us. We even have fast-food chains, like Chowking, serving Chinese cuisine. One of my favorite desserts and snacks at Chowking is Buchi.
Buchi is also called sesame balls, consists of glutinous rice flour filled with bean paste, deep-fried and covered with sesame seeds.
This negosyo recipe features ube-filled Buchi. Ube is another favorite dessert in the Philippines, and this recipe combines two favorite desserts. This negosyo recipe is easy and affordable.
