PANCIT SOTANGHON

This is my first month with Kulinarya Cooking Club. This months theme is Pancit. I decided to showcase SOTANGHON also known as vermicelli or cellophane noodles.

There is an array of pancit dishes that i can't decide which one. So i narrowed it down to our favorites, i opted to choose sotanghon which is a staple in my pantry along with bihon. I have blogged a bihon dish a while back which is also one of our favorite CRISPY PANCIT

My family is a minimalist when it comes to pancit. The less meat and veggies the better hence my calling this my minimalist version.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

2 C pork (thinly sliced, any pork cut w/ the marbling)

4 packs of vermicelli/ sotanghon (individually packed at 1.5 oz.)

2 T scallions (thinly sliced on a bias)

1 t minced garlic

1 t chili paste (SRIRACHA) optional

½ C black fungus mushrooms (julienned)*

2 T oil

½ T of sesame oil


Sauce Ingredients:

2 T soy sauce

1 t oyster sauce

½ T sugar

2 T water

Soak Sotanghon/vermicelli in warm water for 10 -20 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.

Soak the black fungus for about 15 minutes or until soft. Julienne then set aside.

Heat wok or pan and add 2 T oil.

Stir fry garlic and chili paste for few seconds.

Add the thinly sliced pork, sear with garlic and chili paste.

Add the black fungus and sauce, stir fry until pork and the black fungus are cooked.

Taste and adjust right before you add the noodles.

Mix in the noodles until well incorporated w/ the rest of the ingredients and noodles have absorbed all the flavors and are hot.

Finish with sesame oil.

Garnish with the sliced scallions.

BLACK FUNGUS is also called "tenga nang daga" don't ask me why=;)

Kulinarya was started by a group of Filipino foodies living in Sydney, who are passionate about the Filipino culture and its colourful cuisine.Each month we will showcase a new dish along with their family recipes. By sharing these recipes, we hope you find the same passion and love for Filipino Food as we do.
