Ngo Hiong and 5-Spice Powder are the same. Ngo Hiong / Go Hiong (Hokkien) or Wu Xiang (Mandarin) literally mean “five fragrance / spice”.

you can skip the 5 spice powder. Remember this is for 1 kilo batch. Freeze the rest for future meals.

thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes tofu wraps are not that readily available

I miss ngohiong! That was part of my regular diet as a college student there in Cebu – it was cheap and delicious! I would love to make this but I don’t have access to ngohiong powder. What is a good substitute for that?

you can also use tofu wraps (called tau-pe). these can be bought from soy stores in binondo, banawe or greenhills. it’s actually the original wrapping meant for ngohiong
