Pancit Molo Soup Recipe

Pancit Molo (Stuffed Noodle Soup) is popularly the dish in the Western Visayas region. This is the first time that I have cooked Pancit Molo. I love cooking and I did several cooking recipes by which I shared some in my cooking recipe category. Before I choose a recipe, I always consider the ingredients that it has to be healthy and the elderly people like lolo and lola can eat. Normally from the original recipe I make my own version to create a more healthy recipe.

Nutrition: Celery is a great  source of conventional antioxidant nutrients, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, and manganese.

How to make the Molo pouches or dumpling?

• In a bowl, combine the pork, shrimp and kinchay and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
• Lay a molo wrapper on a flat surface and place one-half teaspoon of mixture in one corner. Fold the corner over the mixture and roll halfway towards the center.
• Lift the wrapper holding the rolled portion between the edges of the filling with the fingers of both hands. Fold both sides inward, one side overlapping the other, to form a cone with two pointed sides.
• Paste the folded sides together with a dab of egg-yolk. Repeat process with remaining wrappers.
