Pancit

Recipe created by DaVita teammates Erma and Eugenia and modified by DaVita renal dietitian Mary from California.

Portions:  12                       

Serving size:   2 cups

Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil
• 2 cups total cooked chicken, pork or shrimp (one or a combination)
• 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 4 cups salt-free chicken broth
• one 16-ounce package rice sticks (Asian rice noodles)
• 2 cups carrots, shredded
• 3 celery stalks, cut diagonally
• 4 cups cabbage, shredded
• one 16-ounce package frozen Chinese snow peas (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 egg, hard boiled (for garnish)
• 2 lemons
• 2 green onions, chopped finely (for garnish)

Preparation

1. In a wok or large skillet, over medium heat, sauté garlic and onion in oil until soft.
2. Stir in chicken, pork and/or shrimp and soy sauce. Add 3 cups of chicken broth and bring to boil. 
3. Add noodles using 2 wooden spoons to stir in noodles. Cook for 15 minutes until noodles are translucent. Be careful that noodles don’t become gummy. May need to add more broth (or water) to prevent this from happening.
4. Add vegetables and cook until cabbage begins to soften.
5.  Transfer pancit to a serving dish and garnish with sliced eggs, green onions and one lemon sliced into wedges.
6. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over top of noodles before serving. Serve immediately.

Helpful Hints

• Rice noodles, also known as rice sticks, may be purchased at any Asian grocery store. Excellent® brand is a good choice.
• Shred the cabbage and carrots in a food processor or buy the pre-shredded slaw mix.
• Use a large wok or very large Dutch oven. (I used a large skillet and ended up transferring the pancit to a Dutch oven since the noodles expand and the sides of a skillet could not keep everything in it as I was mixing it with the two wooden spoons.)
