Recipe of the week

This weeks recipe was a hard one to choose from, I figured that I'd go with the traditional Filipino dish 'Pancit'.

Noodles were introduced into the Philippines by the Chinese and have since been adopted into local cuisine.

Ingredients:
1  packet vermicelli noodles
1 packet egg noodles (optional)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced
1 small cabbage, thinly sliced (optional)
1 cup sweet peas
4 carrots, thinly sliced
2 sprigs greet onions, sliced (optional)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 lemons, cut into wedges, for garnish


Method:
1. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl, and cover with warm water. When soft, drain, and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft.
3. Stir in chicken, cabbage, carrots and soy sauce. Cook until cabbage begins to soften. Toss in noodles, and cook until heated through, stirring constantly. Transfer pancit to a serving dish and garnish with quartered lemons.

Note: To add extra flavour you could purchase a sachet of Pancit flavouring from a Filipino grocer. This will give it a slight orange colour along with added Pancit taste.

Let me know if you try this out, I love you hear from you all!

Hanggang sa susunod na oras!
