A scientist in the kitchen

Pancit Molo In the Filipino language, pancit refers to noodles and the next word that goes with is the kind of noodles. Hence we have pancit canton, pancit sotanghon, pancit malabon, and pancit molo.This week I share with you Pancit Molo, a type of noodle soup. The Pancit Molo in the dish is basically shredded wonton wrappers used in making dumplings or siomai. Dumplings are also added to the broth as well.

Pancit Molo

1. First you need to make dumplings, the dumpling recipe I used is the same one as the fried wontons with pineapple that I made earlier. Make about 2 dozen dumplings. Reserve about a cup of ground meat mixture.

2. Bring 4 cups of meat broth to a boil. Taste for salt and pepper. Add the dumplings and the reserved meat mixture. Make sure to crumble ground meat before dropping into the boiling broth.

3. When dumplings are done, add about a cup of shredded wonton wrapper. Make sure that the shredded wontons are well separated from each other as you drop them, other they will form into clamps. Drop all the leafy vegetables you like, bok choi, chives, scallions work well. For my Pancit Molo, I added malunggay leaves which grow profusely in our garden.

Again, taste the soup and adjust for salt and pepper.

After eating all these stuff, I’m hot and sweaty but definitely filled. Makes me want to lie down on some adjustable beds and get some sleep.
