About Kikiam

Kikiam is a popular street food in the Philippines, inspired by the Chinese dish known as Ngo Hiang. It is made by combining ground pork or fish with a mix of chopped vegetables, such as carrots and onions, along with flavorful seasonings like garlic, soy sauce, and five-spice powder. The mixture is then wrapped in bean curd sheets and deep-fried until golden and crisp. While its protein-packed filling provides energy and nutrients, Kikiam is typically high in sodium and fat due to its seasoning and frying process, which may not make it ideal for heart-conscious diets when consumed in excess. It’s often enjoyed as a snack or paired with rice and dipping sauces. For a lighter, healthier alternative, Kikiam can be baked or air-fried instead. Its authentic flavors and cultural significance make it a beloved treat, but moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.
