Pansit Palabok, Rice Noodles with Seafood

Pansit Palabok, Rice Noodles with Seafood
Pansit Palabok, Rice Noodles with Seafood. This Pansit Palabok recipe was inspired by Chef Dennis Leslie’s version of Pansit Palabok featured on SBS Food Safari in Australia. The dish was however cooked when I was recently on a short leave in Manila. On Chef Dennis Leslie’s version he uses alternative ingredients that provably not available in Australia. Since I am in Manila I obviously used all the usual ingredients that most Pinoy uses on their Palabok. What catches me more is Chef Dennis Leslie way of cooking the Pansit Palabok especially where he prepare the rice noodles before assembling it in a platter.
