Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 bag premade chicharon
3 stalks scallions
4 limes (or calamansi)
5 cloves garlic (sliced thinly)
2 eggs
1 bag tinapa (or smoke fish flakes)
¼ lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
2 c seafood stock (or 1 shrimp bouillon and 2 c water)
½ lb ground pork
1 tbsp annatto powder
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp garlic (10 cloves) (minced)
2 c onions (1 medium onion) (chopped)
1 tbsp fish sauce
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp filtered water
7 oz bihon style rice noodles (½ pack) (preferred brand Pamana)
8 c filtered water

Steps:

  • Chicharon: Place chicharon in a food processor and grind until it becomes small, tiny pieces. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
  • Scallions: Clean scallions over running water and cut them on a bias in ¼ inch slices. Place them in a bowl of water, stir them around, and soak for about two minutes. Drain and transfer to a new container and set aside.
  • Limes or calamansi: Clean limes in water to remove any dirt or residue and cut them into wedges.
  • Fried garlic slices: Peel and cut garlic into very thin slices (about 2 mm). I like to use a mandolin on a very thin setting. Add one inch of vegetable oil to a small pot over medium-high heat and wait until it reaches 350 °F. Lower the garlic slices into the hot oil and fry for about two minutes or until they turn a slight golden brown. Remove the garlic and place onto a towel to remove excess oil. Set aside for later.
  • Boiled eggs: Add eggs into a small sauce pan over medium-high heat and add water making sure to cover the eggs. Boil eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs and run them over cold water until they cool. Peel the eggs and slice into quarters. Set aside.
  • In a small pot over medium heat, add the seafood stock. Bring to a simmer and then add the prepared shrimp.
  • Cook shrimp for about two to four minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and feels firm to the touch.
  • Remove shrimp from the stock and into a chopping board. IMPORTANT: save about 1 oz or ¼ of the shrimp to use for toppings. Use a sharp knife to chop the shrimp into minced pieces.
  • Submerge bihon (rice noodles) in cold water for 15 minutes.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, add oil and onion. Saute onion for about two minutes or until they become slightly translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add the ground pork and chopped shrimp into the saucepan. Stir the mixture to incorporate the onion and garlic.
  • Add the seafood stock and stir again.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the annatto powder and water until it's combined. Then, add this annatto liquid, fish sauce, salt, and pepper into the saucepan and stir. Cook for about two minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water. Then add this cornstarch water into the large saucepan. Continue to cook the sauce for about eight to 10 minutes or until it's thickened.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
  • In a pot over medium high heat, add the water and wait for it to boil. Carefully lower the soaked rice noodles and stir. Boil for two minutes or until the noodles are soft (they should not be al dente).
  • Transfer the noodles into an iced cold bath for about two minutes to stop the cooking process. Move the noodles into a strainer to remove excess water. You can also squeeze the noodles softly over the strainer to remove the water.
  • To assemble pancit palabok: Spread out the rice noodles over a large serving platter and use a ladle to spread out the palabok sauce over the noodles. Then, layer the toppings however you desire on top.
  • Serve immediately with extra limes/calamansi and chicharon powder on the side.

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups seafood stock
1 pound 16/20 shrimp ( with shells and heads, if possible)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped shallot
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons cooking wine
1 teaspoon achuete paste
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups water
1 8-oz package rice noodles
2 hard boiled eggs (shelled and sliced)
1/2 cup tinapa flakes or smoked trout
1/2 cup crumbled chicharron ((pork rind))
4 green onions (chopped)
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Bring the seafood stock to a boil in a small sauce pan. Drop in the shrimp and cook until they are pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to retrieve the shrimp. Peel the shrimp, and set aside. Return the shells to the saucepan, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Strain the broth and set aside.
  • NOTE: If you are pinched for time, skip boiling the shrimp shells substitute with shrimp bouillon dissolved in 1 1/2 cups water. If your shrimp are peeled and deveined, then use the stock as it is!
  • Combine the achuete paste and hot water, and set aside. Combine cornstarch with cold water and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat. Sauté the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is transparent. Add the pork, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Stir in cooking wine.
  • Add the shrimp/seafood sauce, achuete liquid, cornstarch slurry, fish sauce and black pepper, and cook, for another five minutes stirring frequently, or until the sauce has thickened. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the noodles. In a separate deep-sided skillet, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and cook for about 3 minutes, or cooked according to package directions. Drain the noodles and place in a serving dish.
  • Reheat the sauce, if necessary, and pour over the noodles. Garnish with sliced eggs, smoked fish, green onions, and lemon wedges. To eat, toss the noodles in the sauce with a squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 large eggs
1/2 pound rice vermicelli or rice-stick noodles
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more if needed
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact (reserve shells for Fish Stock)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
3 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice ( 1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon fish sauce
4 cups napa cabbage (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
2 1/4 cups Shrimp Stock for Rice Noodles with Chicken, Pork, and Shrimp
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 scallion, thinly sliced on the diagonal (1/4 cup)
1 to 2 lemons, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a small saucepan, and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Turn off heat; let stand, covered, for 13 minutes. Drain. Cover with cold water, and let stand 2 minutes. Peel and quarter eggs. Cover, and refrigerate.
  • Fill a large bowl with warm water. Add noodles, and let soak for 15 minutes, stirring to separate as they soften. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. Season chicken and shrimp with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate. Add shrimp to stockpot, and cook, stirring, until bright pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to another plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add additional oil if necessary. Add onion, carrots, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Add pork, and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Stir in fish sauce, and cook 1 minute. Add cabbage, and toss to coat. Add noodles, chicken, and stock, and gently stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most of the stock has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand, partially covered, 5 minutes. Add shrimp and lemon juice, gently stirring to avoid breaking noodles.
  • Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with scallion. Arrange hard-boiled eggs around noodles, and serve warm or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

PANCIT PALABOK (RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN RAGOUT AND SHRIMP)



Pancit Palabok (Rice Noodles With Chicken Ragout and Shrimp) image

We eat pancit, or noodles, always - but especially at birthday celebrations, where the length of the noodles is seen as a promise for an equally long life. Among our many pancit dishes, palabok is the richest. The sauce almost takes on the texture of an Italian ragù, with the meat slowly disintegrating into a thick gravy that's stained reddish-gold by achuete (annatto). The toppings aren't decorative, but a crucial part of the dish: a whole regiment of hard-boiled eggs and poached shrimp, plus a tumble of fried garlic and crumbled chicharron (puffed-up crispy pork skins).

Categories     dinner, casseroles, grains and rice, noodles, poultry, seafood, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on split chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt
1 pound small shrimp (26/30 count), peeled and deveined
6 eggs
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola
3 tablespoons achuete annatto powder (3/4 ounce)
2 large yellow onions, finely minced (about 3 1/2 cups)
8 celery stalks, finely minced (about 3 cups)
15 garlic cloves, finely minced
Fish sauce, as needed
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more for garnish
Banana leaves, for lining the serving dish (optional)
16 to 18 ounces rice vermicelli noodles (ideally about the thickness of spaghetti, or whatever you can find!), cooked
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
3 calamansi, halved, or lemons, cut into wedges, seeds removed
1 cup chicharron, crushed into small pieces
A few tablespoons of crushed fried garlic

Steps:

  • Add the chicken breasts and thighs to a large pot. Cover with about 8 cups water (the chicken should be fully submerged), add 3 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil over high. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until meat is cooked through and can be ripped off the bone easily, about 40 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl to cool, and reserve the cooking liquid. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, discard the skin. Tear the chicken into bite-size pieces and shred into thin strands. Discard the bones.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the shrimp: Bring 4 cups water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once it comes to a boil, add the shrimp and cook just until pink and tender, about 2 minutes. Pour into a colander, straining and discarding the liquid, then quickly transfer the shrimp to a large bowl of ice water just until chilled, about 2 minutes. Strain shrimp, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until use.
  • Prepare the eggs: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high with 1 teaspoon salt, and prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Carefully drop in the eggs, one at a time, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer over low and cook, 9 minutes. Transfer eggs to the ice bath and let cool. Drain, then carefully peel.
  • Heat the oil over high until shimmering. Add the annatto powder and stir until toasted, slightly darkened and fragrant, about 1 minute. (The natural yellow food coloring dyes the oil a robust hue.) Add the onions, celery, garlic and 1 tablespoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Deglaze with 4 cups reserved chicken stock.
  • Add the shredded chicken and simmer, constantly mashing the chicken with a whisk to promote shredding until the chicken has braised and disintegrates into fine threads, and the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. Add fish sauce and black pepper to season.
  • Line a large baking dish with banana leaves, if using. Add the cooked noodles to the dish, top with an even layer of warm chicken mixture, followed by most of the sliced scallions. Top with alternating rows of hard-boiled eggs (thinly sliced crosswise into rounds) and shrimp, squeezing about a half a lemon over the surface or calamansi juice if you have it. Then top with a crunchy mix of chicharron, fried garlic, a few more sliced scallions, a coarse crack of black pepper and remaining lemons or calamansi on the side, for serving.
