Pancit Molo

A comfort food that originated from Molo district of Iloilo city. I learned this dish from my parents who are both Ilonggos. This Filipino noodle dumpling soup is really delicious yet very easy to prepare and this is how I like this soup, with pancit, you can click the link at the bottom for molo soup, I wrote there on how to make the dumplings. The original recipe do not have noodles, but my family like it this way, because we love pancit ( noodles).

Ingredients for 5 servings:
10 pieces molo (cooked)
1/2 kilo pancit ( blanched)
10 cups chicken broth or water
1/2 cup minced carrots
salt and pepper to taste
spring onion for garnishing

Procedure:
1. Saute garlic and onion then add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
2. Add carrots, salt and pepper to taste, just allow to simmer over very low heat so that when we pour the soup over the noodles it's really hot.
3. Divide the pancit into 5 serving bowls, put each bowl with molo and spring onion, then pour the soup.
4. Serve it hot.

Sunday Dinner February 2, 2014

Today is a very challenging cooking experience because at the middle of my cooking activity the gas tank was emptied, oh no!!!!! There is no LPG shop that is open during Sundays in my place, so it means we can not purchase a tank of gas, and there is no electric stove, so I used the oven and rice cooker to finish my cooking. So instead of pork adobo, it became a lechon, then I cooked the beef stew  in the rice cooker, I'm still thankful to God, I have finished my cooking on time.

The starter: 

The main course:

Rice

Lechon

Beef stew
