easter un-pancit

Easter has come and gone and i did not seize the opportunity  to make another one of my dad’s signature creations.  i have never seen pancit prepared the way my dad concocted a way for our Easter eggs to magically transform into this perfect blend of dad, celebration, and innovation.

the best part is how the pancit rendered rainbow-like when the partially-stained egg whites would mix with the noodles.  there is nothing filipino about the ingredients in this pancit and that’s what makes it so genius.  he used to call it “pancit lug-log”, which refers to the use of egg yolks and egg noodles but this version is far from what would be considered pancit or lug-log.

1lb cooked and cooled spaghetti noodles (not chilled, but freshly-cooked!)
1/2 lb freshly-cooker crumbled bacon
1 doz diced hard boiled eggs
Shallots and garlic sautéed in oil to your liking
Fish sauce, salt, and pepper to your liking
1/4 c sliced green onions for garnish

Directions:
Toss all ingredients and save the seasonings and garnish for last. It’s like a salad-pancit-eggy-bacony-garlicky taste of the town my dad grew up in -
General Trias, Cavite.  It is also known as “malabon” and has become a food destination for pancit aficionados, especially “Pancit Malabon”.
