Ingredients:
- 1 pkg pancit palabok noodles (I use super Q brand)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 head garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 lb pork shoulder, cut into strips
- 1 tsp pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Bunch of green onions, finely chopped
- 2 lbs shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 5 cups of water
- 1 bag of pork cracklings, crushed ( Use your food processor for this)
- Boiled egg, cut in half
- Calamansi or lemon, cut into wedges
Directions:
- Cook the noodles according to package directions.
- In a pot, add olive oil and saute garlic until light or golden brown. Remove the garlic and set aside. You will use this for the toppings.
- In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
- Add two tablespoon of oil and fry the pork until golden brown.
- Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. Transfer into a dish and set aside.
- Mix together the Palabok mix and one cup of water. Stir until there is no more lump.
- Add the rest of the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup water. Add this to the pan while stirring continuously. Once it’s thick bring the shrimp, pork and onions back to the pan. Stir to combine.
- To assemble, mix together the cooked noodles, the sauce, and half of the crushed pork cracklings. Transfer into a dish where you will serve it.
- Add all the toppings, pork cracklings, crunchy garlic, boiled egg, chopped green onions and calamansi or lemon wedges.
- Enjoy!
Note:
When making the crispy garlic, be sure to cook it just until its light brown in color. If turns dark brown it will be bitter.
