Paloustehon
Paloustehon is a traditional dish originating from the Philippines, particularly from the Visayas region. It is a popular street food and is often served in markets, food stalls, and local gatherings. The dish consists of a large, crispy, deep-fried dough ball, typically filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, garlic, and onions. The dough is made from a simple batter of flour, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt, which is then shaped into a ball and deep-fried until golden brown. The filling is usually cooked separately and then mixed into the dough before frying. Paloustehon is often served with a side of vinegar or a spicy sauce, such as chili vinegar or calamansi, to complement the rich, savory flavors of the dish. It is a versatile food that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. The dish is a staple in Filipino cuisine and is known for its crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior.
