Pancit Bam-i Guisado

A specialty of Cebu, Pancit Bam-I is a noodle dish that has been adapted in most parts of the country.

It can be found in simple turo-turo and karinderyas as well as restaurants and hotels - each giving their own twist to the recipe. 
But the common denominator for this pancit is the mix of two kinds of noodles - sotanghon (vermicelli) and canton (egg noodles). And just like with most pancit dishes, the recipe can be adjusted to satisfy your own tastebuds. 

Here's a simple recipe of Pancit Bam-i

  • 250 grams Canton noodles 
  • 200 grams Sotanghon (vermicelli) noodles (small packs)

  • 1 medium sayote. sliced
  • 1 medium cabbage, ig shredded
  • Oil (for cooking)
  • 6 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and Pepper 
  • Seasoning cubes (optional)
  • Calamansi (garnish)
  • Water
How to cook Pancit Bam-i Guisado 
  1. Place sotanghon noodles in a bowl of water to soften. Set aside.
  2. In a pan, saute pork and liver in garlic and onions
  3. Mix-in carrots and sayote then season with salt and pepper. Stir fry.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of water (make adjustments) and bring to a boil. (Add seasoning broth if you will be using it)
  5. Place sotanghon noodles and simmer for a minute.

  7. Finally add the shredded cabbage. Cover until cooked.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with calamansi.
This is just a basic recipe which can be tweaked according to you taste and available ingredients. You may incorporate your own pancit cooking technique plus ingredients you are fond of using when making noodles dishes like sesame oil.

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.
