Pancit Molo is a Filipino dumpling soup dish that originates from the city of Molo in the province of Iloilo, Philippines.

Ingredients

For the Dumplings:
1/4 kilo ground pork
1/4 kilo shrimp, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Wonton or Molo wrappers
For the Soup:
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup shredded chicken (optional)

Directions

In a bowl, combine all the dumpling ingredients except for the wrappers. Mix well.
Lay out a wonton wrapper and place a small amount of the dumpling mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle. Seal the edges by moistening them with a little water and pressing them together. Repeat this process until all the dumplings are made.
In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. If you’re using shredded chicken, add it at this stage.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling broth one by one. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot. Allow the dumplings to cook for about 10-12 minutes or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Pancit Molo hot, garnished with chopped green onions.

Easy Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) Recipe

Sinamak (Spiced Vinegar) is of Visayan origin. Made with chilis (commonly siling labuyo), langkawas, garlic, peppercorns, and white onion pickled for at least three days.

Langkawas (Alpinia galanga) is a plant in the ginger family that bears a rhizome used largely as an herb in medicine and as a spice in Arab cuisine and Southeast Asian cookery. It is one of four plants known as “galangal”. Its common names include greater galangal, lengkuas, and blue ginger. Since this is not very common, we will use lemongrass as a substitute.
