Pancit Bato Noodle Soup

Pancit Bato is a type of Filipino Noodle that originated in the town of Bato, in Camarines Sur (Bicol region, Philippines). Pancit Bato Noodle Soup is a good way to cook using this noodle. Think of this dish as a healthier and more delicious version of your favorite instant noodle soup; it is simple yet satisfying and budget friendly too.

This Pancit Bato Noodle Soup recipe calls for chicken broth or chicken stock. Please do not worry if you don’t have this ingredient on hand. You can always use an alternative ingredient for chicken broth. For example, 1 1/4 tablespoon of chicken base (powder) can be combined with 2 cups of water. You may also use chicken bouillon (I prefer Knorr). Add 1 chicken bouillon to 2 cups of warm water and stir. You now have a couple of alternatives. I know that Pancit Bato is the star of this recipe, but sometimes it is not always available. If this is the case, you can use pancit canton as a substitute. I’m sure it will work because I already tried it myself. I also find it better if you add Sriracha sauce to your soup, but do this if you can tolerate spicy food. Otherwise, stick to the recipe below. Happy cooking!
