Mini Palabok

Whenever I want to eat Palabok, I just buy Palabok Mix and follow the procedures written at the back of the sachet. I’ve been interested in preparing it without the mix so I searched the net and found some recipes from different sources and tried to combine them. Although the ingredients of this one are not as complete as the others’, I still would want to recommend this for those (like me) who want to eat even other ingredients are not available.

Ingredients:

- 2 500gms Super Q Special Palabok cornstarch sticks

Sauce:

- 2 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 medium sized onion

- 2 shrimp cubes

- 1 can Tuna

- 5 cups water

- 4 tbsp fish salt

- 4 tbsp all purpose flour dissolved in ¼ cup water

Toppings:

- garlic

- 3 eggs

- 1 pack prawn crackers

- 1 pack cooking shrimps

 

Procedure:

- boil the eggs for 20 minutes, and slice

- fry the prawn crackers, then grind

- boil the shrimps until cooked

Cooking the noodles:

- soak the rice noodles in boiling water for about 15minutes or until cooked
