picture of my Pancit dinner I made tonight. Denise

[Guest guest]

You know it's so easy. I take a package of rice stick noodles and boil for 3

minutes, drain and cut with the cooking scissors, set aside. I then put all

this in the food processor and grate: 2 celery stalks, 1 large carrot, 2 garlic

cloves, 1/2 onion, 1 zucchini, 1 peleed chayote, chuck of cabbage. I hand dice a

1/2 yellow bell pepper and 1/2 red bell pepper. I then heat up the wok or Dutch

oven with some veg. broth and stir fry the noodles with the grated veggies and

add some salt, pepper, red pepper, flakes and Mrs. Dash. As the broth

evaporates I keep adding a few tablespoonfuls at a time. About 5 minutes before

it's done I toss in a hadful of frozen peas and broccoli florets. That's it. A

Philippino chef taught me how to make this about 15 years ago. Kids like the

rice noodles and if you add a cooked sliced tofu dog that usually give you no

problem and eat it right up. The veggies are small and the dish is so colorful.

It's even fat-free.

it's a beautiful dish! sounds similar to what I did last night - stir fred

broccoli, peppers & bean sprouts, added rice noodles & the marinade from the

shanghai tofu & served it w/the tofu. I wish I had saved the little bit that

was left because my 9yo wanted it for breakfast!

Thanks, Donna. I'll do that recipe, but not the zucchini. There is nothing in

this world I hate more other than summer squash. My opinion on these was in

Vegetarian Times 2 issues ago. Denise W.

hi, all, I'm Filipino so I've got a few tips for making pancit -- saute your

garlic and onion first in a bit of oil, then add the julienned veggies, then

the rice noodles -- and a bit of veggie stock. sauteeing the garlic until

it's *just* golden and the onion until it's starting to caramelize around

the edges will give your pansit just a bit more character.

 

the pic looks fabulous, donna! thanks for sharing.

 

rice stick noodles also come in different sizes. the one we use most for

stir-fries is called " bihon " -- try finding a Chinese brand (it may say

" First Class China bihon " on it) -- it's tougher and sturdier and won't

break up while stir-frying. I also don't soak my noodles, just rinse it and

let it absorb the juices from stir-frying and the veggie broth, that way the

flavors really get into the noodles.

 

hth!

ps tofu can be marinated and fried before adding to the dish -- yum! you

could also serve it up as a side dish to the noodles -- the noodles being

the main entree -- cubed, fried, and served in a dipping sauce of

vinegar-soysauce-blackpepper, chopped onions-minced garlic-minced ginger if

you can handle the strong tastes of these raw additions.
