Hi Guys, In honor of Filipino American History Month, I decided to share this semi-homemade Palabok recipe. Palabok is one of my favorite Filipino noodle dishes. What I like is the umami you get from the sauce.. NOM NOM NOM. This dish is pretty quick and easy to do. This dish is a noodle dish served with a shrimp based sauce with pork and topped with shrimp, tofu, boiled egg, tinapa flakes, green onions and squeeze of lemon or calamansi.

I hope you give this recipe a try. I guarantee your family will love it.
