Pancit Palabok is a classic Filipino noodle dish known for its golden-orange sauce and variety of toppings. The base is thin rice noodles, which are smothered in a savory shrimp sauce made from pork broth, shrimp cubes, ground pork, and atchuete extract, giving it its distinctive color. It’s garnished with an array of ingredients like cooked shrimp, boiled pork, crushed chicharon (pork rinds), tinapa flakes (smoked fish), fried tofu, scallions, and fried garlic1.

This dish is similar to Pancit Luglog and Pancit Malabon, with slight variations in noodles and toppings. Pancit Palabok is a beloved part of Filipino cuisine, often featured at parties, birthdays, and other celebrations.
