I cooked Noodles for Lunch!

Its Sunday! And oh I cooked noodles for lunch--Pancit Bicol.


I've been craving for this since last week and its hard to find this kind of noodles. This is originally came from Bicol, my own province particularly in Camarines Sur.

These are the main ingredients:


garlic, onions, pork and vegetables

I just sauteed the the onions and garlic. Add the marinated pork with soy sauce, (oh, since I am a Bicolano, I love spicy food so I added hot and spicy soysauce... but not too much just enough to make it a little bit spicy) and black pepper, when it starts to boil, add about 6 cups of water. Then wait again until it boiled, add seasoning (knorr cube). When the pork is almost cook add the noodle(pancit) and cabbage and carrots cut into strips cover and simmer until the noodle is cooked. Then,


here's our lunch. Served hot Pancit Bicol!

What's for dinner?

So whats for dinner? I'm having Odong for dinner! Odong is a different kind of noodles, because it is straight like spaghetti and taste salty when it is cooked. I never know about this until I came here in Manila, one of my board mate from Visayas introduced it to me, in fact I never hear about this when I was in Bicol.


For those who don't know odong, it is a small diameter noddles that is sold in tiny packs and very popular in Cebu. I love it, because it is so easy to cook, won't even take 30 minutes.


I sauteed the garlic, onions and a can of sardines--I prefer hot and spicy, and like to add some vegetables (patola), then pour a glass of water or more (it depends on you), black pepper and simmer until its cook, then bon-a-petit!!!!

Everybody liked it for its economical, delicious and satisfying comfort food, no wonder why it is so popular in the Southern parts of the Philippines.
