Elsas Pancit Recipes

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.

AUTHENTIC FILIPINO PANCIT

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add chicken thighs and boil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. Strain broth into a bowl to reserve. Shred chicken thighs using 2 forks.
• Place noodles in a large bowl and pour in hot chicken broth, adding hot water to cover if needed. Set aside until noodles are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Blanch noodles with cold water and drain well. Place into a bowl and add soy seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet or large wok over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil until it begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken, cabbage, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes; season with garlic salt. Mix chicken mixture with noodles, add soy seasoning to taste, and serve.
