Pancit Palabok with Tuna and Kalkag (dried alamang)

My Pancit Palabok cravings prompted me to experiment with the readily available ingredients at the same time shortened the lengthy and more complicated palabok recipe. I also used an instant palabok mix thus satisfying my craving with this on-the-spot palabok was just a breeze.
Here's the recipe for Pancit Palabok with Tuna and Dried Alamang


Ingredients
  • 200gms Bihon noodles
  • 1 pack Instant Palabok mix (I used Mama Sita's for this)
  • 1 can (184gms) Tuna (I used Century Tuna Solid in Vegetable Oil), drained
  • 2-3 Tbsps dried Alamang
  • 3 hard boiled eggs
  • Chicharon
  • Calamansi
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Oil
  • 2 and 1/2 cups water
How To Make Pancit Palabok with Tuna and Dried Alamang
  1. Cook bihon according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, toast dried alamang for around 1-2 minutes. Set aside
  3. Add oil and saute onions and garlic then add tuna and alamang. Be sure to leave some tuna and alamang as toppings.
  4. Pour in palabok mix (Dissolved in water and I also add the tuna oil for more flavour) and mix for around 3-4 minutes until thick. You can also adjust the flavour of the palabok sauce.
You can mix and assemble the everything or serve separately so one can just mix and match according to his own desire - like I did. I also added calamansi juice to the palabok mix so need to squeeze some calamansi. Namit gid!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
