So they call this pancit bato. It is another noodle type very similar to the usual pancit canton which I am familiar with. This was made in Bicol, a town called Bato so you can deduce why it was named such. In the vernacular, bato means something hard or a stone. So how does this differ from the noodles we usually find in supermarkets? The texture is harder and drier so one would need extra cooking time.
We’ll have this for dinner tonight. Based on my research, Pancit Bato could be cooked even without the meat and vegetables but I prepared it the usual way we cook noodles, half kilo of pork kasim, carrot, sayote, and fresh green peas.
Pancit could be eaten on its own without rice of course. Let’s eat guys.
sarap! 🙂

Looks tasty, Arlene. Last night, I prepared baked salmon in sweet chilli sauce, stir fried with noodles and vegetables. Also delicious!
Best wishes, Pete.

It is Pete, thanks! I never buy fresh salmon, it is hard to find it in the wet market here and so costly. Baked Salmon sounds yummy.

It is farmed here in the UK, and in Norway, so easy to buy in the supermarket as prepared fillets. It is not cheap though, slightly more expensive than steak.

This looks a lot like the Americanized Chinese “chop suey.” Looks tasty.

It’s pretty good Elizabeth. Chinese chop suey does not have noodles but the same veggie ingredients are used.

I would love to try this. My dad’s family comes from Bato. He loved to cook, but did not make this. I visited Bato when I was a toddler, and have no memory if I was served Pancit Bato when I was there!

Hi Sabine, you can season it with a little soy sauce or salt, depending on your taste.
