Empanada Cooking: Verzosa Vigan Vacation 2006 - part 1

My sister is doing a mock Korean tourist narrative of our family vacation at our father's hometown, Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Empanada is an Ilocano delicacy made of rice flour folded into a crispy pocket filled with eggs, sausages, and vegetables, then dipped in Ilocano coconut vinegar and onions. yummy!

oh that's just sad, maybe that's the best in vigan but you must try the original empanada from Batac,Ilocos Norte it's the best. Ilocos Empanada is actually from Batac, no offense but i think no one can make me eat those. i'm sorry i'm just too loyal and too proud of my mom's hometown but i respect others' taste though.

We tried Batac empanada just this summer and I still think Vigan empanada is better. I can't get over the fact that Batac empanada has almost zero meat, tons of dry-tasting bean sprouts and that artificial orange color.

That is amazing how that lady was making empanada after empanada. I like how she sealed and cut the empanada in one motion using only a plastic bowl. I'll have to try that method.
