How to cook Pancit Molo

Pancit Molo Recipe is an authentic Filipino dumpling soup and a specialty of the town of Molo in Iloilo, a well-known district in the province. It is an adaptation of Chinese Wonton soup, and the filling inside the wontons are composed of ground pork and shrimp, then wrapped in wonton or Molo wrapper. Leftover wonton wrappers are cut into strips and drop into the hot broth. Other main ingredients of this soup are chicken meat shred into small pieces, chicken stock, and shrimps. These ingredients should be readily available in the supermarket or sari-sari stores near your location.

Many first-timers always ask this question, “Where is the Pancit?” because despite its “Pancit” name, this Filipino dish has no noodles. People look for the noodle-like component of the soup. The explanation is that the “Pancit” are the Molo-dumplings and Molo-wrappers, which are basically of the same ingredients as any Pancit or noodles.
