Description
Pancit Palabok is a Filipino rice noodle dish with tofu and shrimp sauce, similar to a ragu, but without tomatoes, and is also often called Pancit Luglug or Pancit Malabon. I explain the subtle differences below. The noodles are simply boiled in water, topped with palabok sauce, and garnished with smoked fish, eggs, and crumbled chicharron. It is a popular dish to serve for celebrations and special occasions, and one of my personal favorites.
Its eclectic mix of ingredients is a good example of the different influences on Philippine cuisine. The noodles, of course, came from the Chinese, and the achiote tree, from which annatto seeds are sourced to give the palabok sauce its color, was introduced by the Spaniards. Combine this with very traditional ingredients such as rich seafood, and you have a uniquely Filipino noodle dish.
