Best 4 Authentic Filipino Pancit Recipes

PANCIT - AUTHENTIC FILIPINO NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• This is what the rice noodles look like. I prefer the thin vermicelli
• In a wok or large skillet with higher sides, heat oil until nice and hot - sizzly, if you will.
• Place the chicken in and brown it on both sides until it's no longer pink. Remove and set aside. Skip this step if using precooked chicken.
• In the still hot pan, add carrots and celery and sauté for about 6 minutes until beginning to get soft but still firm.
• Add the minced garlic to the veggies and sauté for about 30 seconds.
• Add the cabbage mix and stir everything together...heating through...you don't want to cook the cabbage too much; it should be a little bit crunchy. Then, remove everything from the pan.
• In the still hot pan (see a trend? Keep that pan nice and HOT!) add the chicken broth, Worcestershire, soy sauce and dry soup mix. Heat through.
• Add the dry noodles to the pan and let the liquid get absorbed. It will happen, just wait for it...wait for it...see? It happens pretty quickly.
• As soon as the noodles have almost absorbed all of the liquid and they are easily stirrable (pretty sure that's a word), add the veggies and chicken back in and mix everything together; heating through. It's easier at this point to use tongs to mix.
• That's it! I like to add hot chili paste to mine afterwards. YUM!!

TRADITIONAL FILIPINO PANCIT

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the oil in a large wok or deep, heavy skillet. Add the chopped vegetables and onion, wok fry for three minutes over high heat.
• Add the garlic and fry for one minute more.
• Add the ginger and the shrimp and continue to stir-fry until the shrimp have turned pink and are cooked through, this will only take a few minutes.
• Add the broth and bring to a boil, then add the pancit canton noodles. Stir gently to help soften the noodles, once softened reduce the heat and cook for five minutes for the noodles to soak up the broth.
• Finally, when the noodles are cooked and the broth well-reduced, add the soy and the fish sauce, taste and adjust with more of either depending on your taste.
• Serve the cooked pancit in large, warmed bowls, spoon out the noodles, shrimp and vegetables then spoon over the broth. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro if you wish.
