Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams rice noodles
- 250 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams tofu, extra firm
- 250 grams chicken breast, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon annatto powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 3 boiled eggs, sliced
- 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds (chicharron)
- 2 lemon, sliced into wedges
Instructions
Soak rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain thoroughly.
Cut tofu into small cubes. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the tofu until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink. Set aside.
In a deep pan, heat a small amount of oil and saute the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and translucent.
Add the shrimp and cook until just pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add fish sauce and annatto powder, stirring well.
Mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the water to create a slurry. Pour this into the pan along with the remaining water, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
Add back the tofu, chicken, and shrimp to the pan, stirring to coat all pieces with the sauce.
Toss in the drained rice noodles and mix until noodles are evenly coated with the sauce and everything is heated through.
Transfer the Palabok to a serving platter, and garnish with sliced boiled eggs, chopped spring onions, and crushed pork rinds.
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish before eating.
