Filipino Shrimp And Pork Pancit

shrimp and pork pancit filipino dish recipe

Filipino shrimp and pork pancit is an easy stir-fry noodle with vegetables and meat (pork and seafood). The dish is usually served with a protein dish such as chicken adobo and rice for the perfect Filipino feast.

I was in search of a delicious filipino pancit noodles recipe but since I’m not filipino, I had to find a good homecooked recipe online…unfortunately, I didn’t know who to trust. Luckily, my friend, Angie’s mom was very kind to share hers. She gave me all the insights on what ingredients to use and the measurements for this authentic Filipino recipe.

Since Filipino mothers don’t have exact measurements, it won’t taste exactly likes hers. However, I think the fish definitely comes close and the pancit tastes like a filipino mother made it. The noodles are light and tender with a subtle seafood flavor from the oyster sauce. Squeeze a little lime juice (or calamansi!) and taste the flavor explosion. Hope you like Mama Angie’s recipe ◡̈

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR YOUR PANCIT:

  • 1 pack rice noodles (6 ounces), soak in water to soften then drain

saute protein:

  • 1 tbs neutral oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)
  • 1 pork loin, thinly sliced (can substitute with chicken)
  • 5-8 large shrimp, peeled and de-veined – be careful not to cook the shrimp all the way through when sautéing
  • 1/2 tsp salt

saute vegetables:

  • 1 tbs oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 white onion, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/4 cabbage, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

assemble noodles:

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce (you can add additional 1-2 tbs oyster sauce if you like more savory)
  • softened rice noodles
  • sauteed vegetables
  • sauteed protein
  • 1-2 tbs soy sauce (optional), to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

garnish:

  • sliced green onions
  • calamansi or lime, freshly squeezed

STEPS TO MAKE THE PANCIT:

Soak thin rice noodles in room temperature water.
  • Step 1. Soak rice noodles for 15-30 in water.
  • Step 2. While the noodles are soaking, prep your vegetables. Mince 3 garlic cloves. Slice 1/2 white onion. Julienne (thinly sliced) 1 carrot. Slice 2 celery stalks and 1/4 cabbage. Tip: Make sure all the vegetables are uniform in size to ensure even cooking!
  • Step 3. To prepare the meat, you can use chicken or pork. Thinly slice your pork. Tip: Tenderize the pork by pounding the meat on both sides with the back of your knife. Peel and de-vein the shrimp.
  • Step 4. The rice noodles should be soft after you are done prepping the vegetables/meat. Strain the noodles and set aside.
Fry pork for a minute, then fry shrimp for a minute with 1/2 tsp salt. Set them aside.
  • Step 5. Heat pan to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add sliced pork and cook for 1 minute. Then add the shrimp and 1/2 teaspoon salt and fry for 1 minute until the shrimp has just turned orange and the pork is browned. Set meat and shrimp aside. Be careful not to overcook the meat because we are going to cook it again.
Saute vegetables with garlic, onions, and seasonings. Then, set aside.
  • Step 6. Using the same pan on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic and then onions. Saute for one minute. Then, add carrots. Saute for 1 minute, then add cabbage and celery. Saute for 2 minutes. Add 1 tbs soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the cabbage has softened and set all the vegetables aside.
Cook rice noodles with chicken broth and oyster sauce.
  • Step 7. Use the same pan and turn on low-medium heat. Add 2 cups of chicken broth and 1/4 cup oyster sauce. Then, add noodles. Once the chicken broth has evaporated and cooked down (doesn’t look soupy). Stir and add the vegetables and meat. Mix together and if the noodles are looking a little dry (don’t add too much or it will be watery!), gradually add 1/2 cup chicken broth to the pan.
Add vegetables and meat back with the rice noodles and mix everything together.
  • Step 8. Finally add black pepper to taste and sliced green onions. This is optional, but feel free to add 1 to 2 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 to 2 tablespoon oyster sauce if you like the dish to be more savory. Hope you enjoy with some freshly squeeze calamansi or lime!

    An easy recipe to follow. I doubled it, and being that I am slow at slicing and chopping it did take me a while! Hahaha! I found a great recipe for a brown sauce with garlic and ginger which I put on top of the leftovers the following day and it was awesome. Today I saw your suggestion for chili oil. I will try that next time. Great recipe!

Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this Wishing you luck, health and prosperity with this turnip cake recipe aka loh bok go in cantonese. Gung Hey Fat Choy ([恭喜发财] my dumplings! PS. I don’t recommend saying lai see dou loi unless you’re very close to that relative or you are a young child lol

Full recipe is linked in bio or find on my bloggg 🧧🐰

I finally finished testing out this recipe (it’s beeen a few months haha)! I was struggling with the texture for a little while. Now, the recipe is good to go ◡̈  The flavor is very savory from the chinese sausage and cured pork belly (made from my dad!) and also sweet from the radish. The texture is firm but not too doughy because I loaded this up with lots and lots of radish. You will never find a restaurant that has as much radish as this homemade recipe. Lastly, I pan fried the turnip cake to give it a nice crisp at the end. 

Don’t forget Chinese New Year is celebrated on the eve (21st of January!) so have a nice dinner with your family on Saturday. Then my mom told me to not clean or do any labor on actual Chinese New Years Day (22nd of January). Wishing all you dumplings good health and wealth in the upcoming year.

This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Ch This egg drop soup is inspired by my parent’s Chinese restaurant 😋Silken tofu is cooked in a sweet chicken broth and cornstarch slurry is added to thicken the soup as well as make the smooth & thick texture. 

Some Cantonese restaurants serve this with real crab meat (highly recommend if you have this!) and the color is on the whiter end (hence why we’re using egg whites!). However, if you want to use the whole egg, feel free to use it! The egg yolk makes the soup more yellow and creamy. 

You can google ‘cook with dana egg drop soup’ for full recipe or find it in my link in bio! Hope you have a wonderful week my dumplings and can’t wait to show you my Chinese New Year recipes!

Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) o Fridge clean out time! 🙃 Crab jeon (omelette) or korean seafood pancake is a great recipe to use all your leftover ingredients in the fridge. For groceries, I always use the ‘first in, first out’ method meaning the older groceries need to be used before eating the new stuff. I’m chopping up leftover vegetables and onions in small pieces and mixing them together with imitation crab. The pancake may taste different depending on what ingredients you have but once you mix it with eggs and some flour (especially korean pancake mix!), it will taste scrumptious in it’s own unique way. 

The next time you stock up, make sure to keep some type of seafood in the freezer at all times. For me, I tend to buy extra imitation crab and shrimp. Then you will always have good staples to make with your leftover ingredients. 

Check link in bio for recipe or google ‘crab jeon dana’ to find full recipe and directions ◡̈ Stay dry california dumplings, there’s lots of rain here haha.

My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over r My uncle taught me how to make braised pork over rice! This dish tastes sweet and savory (similar to teriyaki) which goes so well with rice. The recipe is inspired by Japanese soboro don which is served with scrambled egg, but I think it also reminds me of the Taiwanese dish, Lu rou fan. We cook the ground pork down in some beer to make the meat taste sweeter as well as cut down on the gaminess. 

Don’t forget to serve with hot white rice and a sunny side egg to complete the meal. I was intensely writing down the ingredients and instructions so you can make it at home 😉❤️Check it out in my link in bio or google ‘braised pork rice dana’ 🍚

You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this ea You’re about to eat 2 bowls of rice with this easy and delicious mapo tofu! This is spicy, flavorful and a little tingly from the peppercorn oil. This is not an authentic replica of the sichuan mapo tofu but it’s very close. I would say the dish is a combo of sichuan and cantonese flavors 😍
My uncle taught me how to make this and it’s one of my favorite recipes to cook when I don’t have a lot of ingredients in the fridge. Also eating spicy and hot foods when it’s cold outside always makes me happy for some reason. Check full recipe in the blog or link in bio 🥵❤️‍🔥🌶

Sorry y’all for the lighting in the video. It’s cold and gloomy here in California. Hopefully weather gets better and we can have some golden ☀️ shots! Love you all and stay warm dumplings.
