port, two men and pancit

1 We drive through the torrential rain to the west coast and have a bit of a look about. The harbour  is old and run down but the workers still have smiles on their faces as they go about their business.

2 One man slaps his friend on the back and they share a private joke, then turn and go their separate ways.


3 Somehow  eating with chopsticks just makes it fun and it takes longer to eat especially when you try to pick up the mini bits.

Ingredients
Pork and shrimp pancit

1 (6.75 ounce) package rice noodles
5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups cooked small shrimp, diced
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked pork
4 cups shredded bok choy
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 green onion, minced
Directions
Soak the rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes; drain.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a wok or large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Saute noodles for 1 minute. Transfer to serving dish, and keep warm. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet, and saute onion, garlic, ginger, shrimp and pork for 1 minute. Stir in bok choy, oyster sauce and chicken broth. Season with pepper flakes. Cover, and cook for 1 minute, or until bok choy is wilted. Spoon over noodles, and garnish with minced green onion.
