How To Cook Filipino Pancit Palabok:
For the Palabok:
Dissolve the palabok mix in water.
While doing this you can put the Oil in a Wok and Sautee the Garlic.
When the garlic has a golden brown color you can add the Minced Pork.
Stir the complete mix in the dissolved palabok mix and bring it to a boil. When it’s thick enough put the noodles in a serving plate and put the sauce over it.
Finish the dish with some shrimp on top of it, cracklings, some egg and you might try some smoked mackarel as well. Palabok is commonly served with lemon.
For the Sauce:
The Astuete seeds are mainly used to give a reddish/orange color to the sauce.
It should be dissolved in about ¼ cup of water.
After it’s dissolved it should be strained and add the remaining water with shrimp sauce into a pan.
Add the flour to the mix and bring it to a cook.
Finally stir until the sauce is thick and season with salt, pepper or patis to taste.
