Pansate

Pansate is a Filipino stir-fried noodle dish prepared with fresh egg noodles stir fried with meat and vegetables served in a savoury bed of soy sauce gravy

Pansate is a Caviteñean type of pancit which is similar to pancit canton but it is served in a savoury bed of soy sauce gravy. This dish is considered to be a snack and is an all-time favourite in Cavite, from the name alone you can decipher where it came from, “sate” or satay, an Indonesian sweet and spicy concoction made with peanuts. This noodle dish was based from that Indonesian noodle dish that uses that sauce but after bringing it to the Philippines it was changed to sesame oil to make it more familiar to the local taste.

Like normal pancit, it starts with a sauté of garlic and onions then vegetables like cabbage, carrots, beans are used. Usually thick egg noodles are used which is a good carrier of that thick gravy that accompanies it, sauce becomes thicker by adding a bit of flour or corn-starch to make it gravy like in consistency. It is usually paired with pan de sal, which is used to scrape all that sauce that remains on the bottom of your plate.
