Filipino Pancit
I learned this Filipino Pancit recipe at the orphanage that I worked at for a year in Cebu. It's my all-time favorite Filipino recipe!

Ingredients
- 8 oz package vermicelli noodles (see notes)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, thinly sliced into small pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 shallots, minced (or sub one onion)
- 2 -3 cups finely sliced veggies
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound raw shrimp
- 1 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- juice of 1-2 limes (or calamansi!) for topping
- green onions for topping
Steps
-
Soak the noodles in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Brown the pork in the oil with the shallot and salt. Add the sugar and cook for another 2-3 minutes to get some caramelization.
-
Add the vegetables and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until just starting to brown and soften.
-
Add broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Add soaked noodles and shrimp. Simmer it all together for 5-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until most of the broth has been absorbed. YUM! Saucy and delicious.
