Ingredients 

The dish primarily consists of thick rice noodles, which are distinct from other pancits due to their flavorful quality. The noodles are tossed in a savory sauce made from shrimp broth, fish sauce, and seasonings, creating a rich and umami-packed base.

Major Pancit Malabon ingredients often include,

Shrimp: Fresh, plump shrimp provide a sweet and briny flavor.

Squid: Sliced squid rings add a tender, slightly chewy texture.

Oysters: These add a unique richness and depth to the dish.

Crushed Chicharrón (pork cracklings): Adds a crunchy element and a burst of savory goodness.

Hard-boiled Eggs: Sliced eggs contribute to the dish’s richness and are often used as a garnish.

Vegetables: Chopped spring onions, cabbage, and other greens add freshness and color.

Calamansi: This Filipino citrus fruit is typically served on the side, allowing diners to add a tangy zest to their pancit.
