WATCH: How To Cook Pancit Puti

This pancit is kept "maputi" with the use of patis (fish sauce), instead of the usual dark soy sauce. This merienda fare is made even more flavorful and exciting by the smoky flavors of the grilled pork, the warm aroma of the sesame oil, and by the crunch from the chicharon and toasted garlic that's sprinkled on top. 

Pancit Puti

Takes 1 hour
Makes 4 to 6 servings

1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 medium-sized white onion, sliced thinly
1/2 medium-sized cabbage, shredded
200 grams grilled pork belly, cut into thin strips
1 large chicken, (use breast part), pre-boiled, shredded
1/4 cup fish sauce (patis), or to taste

4 to 6 cups pork broth
400 grams bihon noodles (thin rice noodles), rinsed
200 grams shrimp, pre-boiled, shelled
1 small bundle spring onions, chopped, for topping
Chicharon, roughly chopped, for topping
Sesame oil, to taste
Calamansi, to taste (or to serve)

1 Heat your wok until it starts to smoke, Add in 3 to 4 tablespoons of cooking oil and saute garlic until light brown. Remember to not over fry. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Using the same wok and oil, cook the onions for about half a minute. Add the cabbage and cook for another minute. Remove the vegetables from the wok and set aside.
