👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Prepare the annatto water: In a small saucepan, combine the annatto seeds and 500ml of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the water turns a deep orange-red. Strain the water through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the seeds to extract as much color as possible. Discard the seeds. You should have a vibrant orange liquid.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Make the sauce base: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Add the shrimp to the pot with the pork mixture and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the prepared annatto water and the broth (shrimp or chicken). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Season the sauce: Stir in the fish sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The sauce should reduce slightly.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Thicken the sauce: While the sauce simmers, prepare the cornstarch slurry by whisking together 2 tbsp cornstarch with 4 tbsp water until smooth. Gradually pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thick, add a little more broth or water; if too thin, add a bit more slurry.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Cook the noodles: While the sauce is simmering, cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water for a few minutes or boiling them briefly until tender but not mushy. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 7
Assemble the dish: Divide the drained noodles among serving plates or a large platter. Generously ladle the hot, thick palabok sauce over the noodles, ensuring they are well-coated. The sauce should be thick enough to cling to the noodles.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 8
Garnish and serve: Top the sauced noodles with the sliced hard-boiled eggs, crushed chicharon, additional cooked shrimp (if using), and sliced scallions. Serve immediately while hot.

💡 Profitipps
- ✓The sauce consistency is key; aim for a thick, gravy-like texture that coats the noodles without being watery.
- ✓Don't overcook the rice noodles, as they will continue to soften slightly when mixed with the hot sauce.
- ✓Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference. Other popular additions include fried garlic bits and a squeeze of calamansi (Filipino lime).
