How to cook deliciously - Pancit Bihon

1. Stage

In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine pork, water, soy sauce, ginger, fish sauce, bay leaves, and star anise and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until pork is fork-tender, about 25 minutes.

2. Stage

Drain pork, reserve cooking liquid, and discard spices. Pat pork dry.

3. Stage

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add pork, cover, and shake pan about every 20 seconds to sear, until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and wait for oil sputters to subside before uncovering. Transfer pork to a plate; reserve oil in skillet.

4. Stage

Return skillet to medium-high heat. Cook cabbage, onion, carrot, garlic, scallions, salt, black pepper, and white pepper, stirring frequently, until vegetables turn golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.

5. Stage

Meanwhile, return pot with cooking liquid to medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until al dente and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and calamansi juice to skillet with pork and toss to combine.

6. Stage

Divide pork and noodle mixture among bowls. Top with fried garlic, if using. Serve with calamansi wedges alongside.
