Simple Pancit Palabok is a version wherein you can make your own palabok or luglog by using the minimum ingredients possible. What makes this palabok recipe good is the idea that you can have the same delicious pancit palabok taste using fewer ingredients, which leads to a lower costs. Consider this as a budget palabok recipe.

Palabok

There are many ways to make pancit palabok because these come in different versions, and it even has many names. For the sake of this recipe, I will call this dish as simple pancit palabok because this actual dish was made with whatever is available in our pantry. I am glad that there is still a pack of cornstarch noodles left and I still have some tilapia flakes sitting in the freezer. I think that these 2 ingredients are the most vital, and the others may vary.

I had a previous palabok recipe post which made use of bihon noodles. That was somewhat similar to the pancit palabok served in Jollibee. I also had a version of Pancit Malabon. I grew-up eating pancit malabon because I used to help my parents man our shop in Las Pinas every day during the summer (and every weekend during school season). It was situated beside a restaurant that serves the said dish as its specialty.

Although it is ideal to have all the ingredients to make the percfect pancit palabok, this simple palabok recipe has the qualities of the complete thing. This might not be comprehensive, but only you can judge how it will fair after tasting it.

Try this Simple Pancit Palabok Recipe. Let me know what you think.
