Soak the rice noodles in water for at least 3 hours, or according to package instructions. Note: if using traditional pancit Malabon noodles, you will need to soak it in water overnight. Drain the water from the noodles afterwards.
Pour 8 to 10 cups of water into a cooking pot. Let boil. Add the soaked noodles into the pot. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until completely done. Remove from the cooking pot. Set aside.
Prepare the Pancit Malabon sauce by pouring annatto oil in a pan. Once the oil starts to get hot, saute garlic and onion.
Add sliced pork, cook for 1 minute.
Add tinapa fish flakes, chicharon, and fish sauce. Stir.
Pour water. Bring to a boil.
Add Knorr shrimp cube. Stir. Cover the pan. Cook in medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Add ground black pepper. Stir.
Combine the noodles and sauce. Add toasted garlic and more chicharon (if desired). Gently toss until all the ingredients are well blended.
Transfer to a serving plate. Top with topping ingredients. Note: Be creative.
Serve with calamansi or lime.
