I used to cook palabok. I am using turmeric instead of annato... It gives a 'malinamnam' flavor to the dish.

Annato is a food coloring or Atsuete in Tagalog.

palabok noodles
its not miki, its bihon. there is a bihon noodle that is specifically used for pansit palabok. miki is salty yellow fresh noodle, not to be interchanged with canton which is a dry type noodle. bihon is white rice noodle, the thin noodle which is used for guisado, and the big noodle which is used for palabok.

My hubby love to eat Pancet Palabok. He tried once in San Diego, CA and he love it. When we have party this Pancet Palabok is not absent in our table. When we move here in PI we order in nice and up high restaurant in Cebu. Its not the same what we had in SD.
Now I found the recipi in your site. I want to cook it for him at Home with complete ingredients. Thank you very much.

Palabok minus the shrimps
My sister is allergic to shrimps. Is there a palabok recipe which doesn't have shrimps as an ingredient? Any substitute for shrimps ?
Thanks !

The amount of shrimps doesn't really matter. The more the taste comes out ( But ofcourse don't exaggerate!) :-D

@Jowee Ann Gascon

Use the shells and heads of the 1/4 cup shrimps. Pound and mash them in 2 cups of water to produce shrimp juice for added flavor.

gaano po karaming ulo ng shrimp ang kailangan para sa shrimp juice?

maraming salamat po!
