2lbs. uncooked noodles – this version used a combination of pancit and vermicelli
4cups sliced mixed veggies: cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions
1lb. lean pork, cut into very small pieces
1/2cup oil
1 onion, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pork bouillon cube
6cups water
Instructions
Soak the vermicelli in water for about 5 minutes or until soft.
Brown the pork in the oil with the soy sauce, garlic, and onion.
Add the water and bouillon cube to the pork and bring to a low simmer. Add the vegetables and cook for 5-10 minutes. Add the uncooked pancit noodles and soaked vermicelli. Simmer over low heat until the noodles soak up all the broth.
Notes
If traveling, pack noodles, sauces, and toppings in separate containers.
Plan ahead: If you’re traveling from your home to the venue, remember to pack all the pancit dish components separately, then assemble at the party venue instead. This makes sure that sauce doesn’t sink to the bottom of the noodles, and that meat, seafood, and vegetables don’t go limp being squished together throughout transport.
