Quick Meal : Pork Pancit
Who doesn't love pancit! It's really easy to make too. Thanks to my neighbor Michelle for sharing her expertise!
1 package of thin rice noodles (pancit noodles)
4 thin cut boneless pork chops (you can use boneless skinless chicken or shrimp as well)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped ginger root
2 teaspoons of Toasted Sesame oil
1 tablespoon of Canola oil
2 cups of sliced cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup Chicken stock
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 bunch of green onions or scallions, thinly sliced
Open the noodles and rinse under warm water then set aside in a bowl. Slice the pork chops into thin strips. Heat the canola oil and toasted sesame oil in a skillet to medium high. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute or two stirring frequently. Add the pork and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and the carrots and cook for another minute. Add the noodles, soy sauce, and the chicken stock. Cover the skillet and leave it for about 4 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and add more stock or water until the noodles are soft and not too chewy. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to soften the noodles.
At the very end add the green onions and toss.
You can always spice it up a little with some red chilis or some Sriracha sauce - just add that when you add the soy sauce.
