Pancit Malabon belongs to a broad group of traditional Filipino stir-fried noodle dishes. It is prepared with thick rice noodles doused in a flavorful shrimp-infused sauce and usually incorporates various seafood ingredients such as shrimps, squids, or mussels.
The dish is often served topped with hard-boiled eggs, pork cracklings, sliced cabbage, and fish flakes. As the name suggests, it stems from the coastal region of Malabon, famous for its abundance of fresh seafood ingredients. Like other
pancit varieties, this local favorite is also traditionally served on special occasions.
