Pancit Luglug the very saucy version of the Pancit Palabok and Pancit Malabon, similar to both this is also a noodle dish served with an array of seafood garnish, spring onions, hard boiled eggs in thick rice noodles. Usually served on deep bowls due to its saucy nature, I am not sure though if the sauce defines it as pancit luglug but that was my observation when these three noodle dishes are compared.

I have posted already the Pancit Palabok and Pancit Malabon and if you look closely the ingredients and methods are nearly similar because they really are, it just differs in noodles used as well as how the sauce is served, Luglug sauce also should be lighter in taste as it uses more of it compared to the others.

    Hi, I have a question not relating to this dish (just posting it here because it is your last post and you will see it). I don’t now much about Pilipino cuisine and I wanted to know if there is a Pilipino vegetarian main (main, not side vegetable) or something that cold be easily vegetarianized (i.e. using tofu, beans etc. instead of meat)? Also (sorry another question!) do you ever make the pastries called capuchinos (I think that this is the right spelling?). Is so how do you make the syrup?

    Ciao
