Pancit


This is a Filipino dish that's as common as burger and fries here in the states. (only better for you) You can change this recipe to any liking these are just some basic instructions. However, the noodles are best when you use the ones requested here.

4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1/2 cup chicken breast, sliced (you can use shrimp or tofu for vegetarian)
1/2 cabbage,sliced thin (napa is good)
2 carrots, sliced thin
1 celery stalk, sliced thin
bean sprouts if you'd like
soy sauce
1 can of chicken or vegetable broth (14 oz)
1 package rice sticks (8 oz) they are in the Asian section and they are clear looking
lemon or lime sliced
salt and pepper to taste

In a large frying pan, saute garlic and onion, then add chicken or what ever you're using. Add cabbage, carrots, celery. Pour in half of the broth and simmer until veggies are crisp.
If using rice sticks; Soak sticks in water to soften. In a wok or similar pan, add a little oil and saute the drained rice sticks. Add 1/4 cup or less of soy sauce to give color. Using 1/2 of the veggie mixture, mix with the noodles. Cook about 10 more min. on low heat. On a big platter, pour and spread noodle mixture and top with the rest of the veggies. Serve warm. Arrange slices of lemon or lime on platter. Add s&p to taste.

  2. The cabbage pear salad you posted got a thumbs up from everyone we had to dinner last week. Thanks for that one.
    It will be fun to try this one too. It's something we haven't had before, but it sounds good. How long should I soak the rice noodles?

  3. Until the noodles are soft but firm if that makes sense. about 25-30 min in warm water
