Okoy (vegetable patties)

I bought some mung bean sprouts the other day coz I wanted to cook some vegetable lumpia. But when I had a look at the freezer, no lumpia wrapper. So I did the next best thing, Okoy.

Lucky, I also have some pumpkin, so I combined the two together and made a good okoy. I have done this recipe before with all different kinds of vegetables. I used, zucchini, corn, carrots and with great success too. I think, it all comes down with the vinegar dipping sauce. But then again, my hubby does not eat them with vinegar so they must be good by themselves ;p (lucky I was able to enticed my boys to try vinegar dipping sauce, now they love it)

I had some left over roast pork from last night, the okoy below have pork. I must admit, I like the one without pork better. It's a good thing, Kim liked the one with pork.
