Home-made Jollibee-style Pancit Palabok Recipe
This Filipino favorite uses thin rice noodles known as bihon to soak up a rich sauce of pork broth, fish sauce (patis) and fried garlic—it’s the annatto powder which gives it its characteristic yellow orange color and makes it a delicious plateful of sunshine. The rice noodles pair well with the traditional toppings of sliced hard-boiled eggs, shrimps, crunchy chicharon and ground pork. With finely chopped scallions on top to create a bit of contrast with the savory sauce and noodles, how can anyone say no to this merienda and party staple? No Filipino party would be complete without some form of pancit palabok, and this recipe recreates the taste and texture of a variant from the beloved Filipino fast food chain Jollibee. It’s lovely on the plate with its neat arrangements of toppings, but definitely even better in your tummy after a long day out.
