Pancit Bato

Pancit Bato is a traditional type of Filipino pancit originating from the town of Bato, hence the name. This noodle soup is usually made with a combination of sun-dried pancit Bato egg noodles, carrots, peas, cabbage, pork slices, oil, salt, pepper, and chicken stock. The pork is sautéed in oil, then covered with the chicken stock and simmered until tender. The cabbage, noodles, peas, and carrots are added to the soup and it is then seasoned with salt and pepper. Once prepared, pancit Bato is served warm in large bowls. There are some variations on the dish with added shrimp and fish sauce.
