There are different names for this dish: Pancit Palabok or Pancit Luglog. I remember going to the wet market with my mom and after shopping, we would go to the 2nd floor where they have the karinderias and have Pancit Palabok and Puto along with a bottled Coke. :)
I learned my recipe from an Aunt when I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
I'm sharing my regular Pancit Palabok recipe, my shortcut Palabok recipe and the 'everything from scratch' recipe.

Pancit Palabok recipe #1
1 onion, minced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbps cooking oil
4 pieces chicken breasts, minced or ground
2 cups cleaned uncooked shrimp, minced
6 cups chicken broth
3 small cans of Cream of Mushroom or 1 big can
salt or fish sauce
white pepper
atchuete or food coloring
Pancit Bihon, cooked Al Dente
2 stalks green onions, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, sliced for garnish
1 lemon sliced
1 cup tinapa flakes
6 pieces of cleaned shrimp, boiled for garnish (optional)
Saute onion and garlic until soft.
Add minced chicken breasts and shrimps, saute for a few minutes.
Add the chicken broth and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the Cream of Mushroom soup one at a time, using a whisk to incorporate it with the broth. The mixture should be creamy but not too thick. It should have the consistency of a gravy. If it's too thick, just add broth a little at a time.
Season with salt or fish sauce and pepper.
Use the atchuete to achieve dark orange color. In my experience, it takes a lot of atchuete to get this color. My Aunt sometimes use food coloring to get the color she wants.
Let it simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring the pot frequently.
Ladle the sauce on top of the cooked pancit bihon and garnish with shrimp, fried tinapa flakes, green onions, eggs and lemon.

ReplyDeleteHi there, so instead of using flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce you replaced it with mushroom soup? Wow, how intriguing. Since masarap naman ang cream of mushroom, I'm sure malasa palabok ko nito. My boys will enjoy merienda today. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you! Thank you for sharing it.♥
ReplyDeleteHi. I was wondering how big is the 1 big can of cream of mushroom? :) thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi. Thank you so much for sharing this palabok recipe. I cooked this for dinner tonight for the first time and I thought it was better than the palabok I've tasted at a restaurant. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it that we had to get up and get not seconds but thirds. Thank you. *****Highly recommended!!!
ReplyDeletemy friend from Pampanga uses cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom. it's delicious! but very rich.
