(boo-chee boo-chee) or (bu-tsi bu-tsi  with the short "u" sound)

This is the fried version of Guam's pumpkin turnover. It's even better the next day!

If you are planning a holiday gathering or thinking of what to bring to the party, this is a great make-ahead dish. Make the filling on day 1, mix the dough and shape the buchi buchi on day 2, freeze for months ahead, fry it the day before then take it to the party the day of.

from a fan:  "I used your recipe for buchi buchi and I was a rock star!!!"
