Miki noodles are very similar to egg noodles but miki is usually sold fresh and not dried like other noodles sold in supermarkets or wet markets. There usually two kinds of miki, one is very thick which is used in Lomi and the other one is thin, similar to pancit canton. You can use both since they are the same in taste and texture.

The only disadvantage in using miki is, sometimes there are miki that has a slightly bitter aftertaste. Maybe they are not fresh anymore so it has an after taste, just be sure they are fresh before buying. There are lots of meat you can use aside from pork and shrimps listed in the recipe. You might also use chicken liver and chicken meat or beef.

Delicious and Flavorful Miki

If you’re a fan of Asian cuisine, specifically Filipino dishes, then you’re in for a treat with this miki noodles recipe. A delightful medley of fresh miki noodles, succulent pork, shrimp, and an array of vegetables, this dish is a burst of flavors that’s sure to satisfy your cravings. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at this delectable dish and guide you through the simple steps to prepare it in the comfort of your own kitchen.

The Delightful World of Miki Noodles

Miki noodles are a unique and scrumptious component of this dish. Unlike the more common dried noodles, miki noodles are usually sold fresh. They possess a distinct texture that sets them apart, making them a staple in various Filipino noodle recipes. There are two main varieties of miki noodles: thick miki, which is often used in dishes like Lomi, and thin miki, similar to the well-known pancit canton noodles. The thin miki is the star of the show. Its springy texture and ability to absorb flavors make it a perfect base for this dish.

Ingredients and Variations

While the recipe traditionally includes pork and shrimp, don’t be afraid to get creative with your choice of proteins. Aside from pork and shrimp, you can introduce elements like tender chicken meat or rich beef to cater to your personal taste preferences. Some adventurous cooks even incorporate chicken liver for an extra layer of flavor. This versatility allows you to customize the dish according to your dietary needs and cravings.

Sautéing the Initial Flavors

Preparing this miki dish is simpler than you might think. Follow these steps to create a mouthwatering masterpiece:

Start by heating oil in a cooking pan. Add the pork and stir-fry it for about 5 minutes, allowing it to cook until it turns golden brown and slightly crispy.

Incorporate the aromatics – onions and garlic – into the mix. Cook them until the onions become soft and translucent, releasing their delightful fragrance into the air.

Adding Seafood Sensation

It’s time to introduce the seafood element. Toss in the shrimp and stir-fry for a quick minute. Next, add the squid balls and give them a gentle stir for another minute. This step allows the seafood to absorb the surrounding flavors, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

Seasoning to Perfection

Achieving the right balance of flavors is crucial. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper to elevate the taste. To deepen the umami notes, add soy sauce and oyster sauce. For that savory punch, dissolve a chicken cube in water and pour it into the pan. Stir and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Vibrant Vegetables

Infuse color, texture, and nutrients by adding cabbage and carrots to the pan. These vegetables provide a refreshing crunch and a burst of vibrancy to the dish. Allow them to cook until they reach the desired tenderness.

Miki Noodles Unite

The star of the show is here – the thin miki noodles. Gently incorporate them into the pan, ensuring they’re well mixed with the other ingredients. Allow everything to cook together for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors of the dish.

Once the ingredients have melded together beautifully, transfer the miki onto a serving plate. The delightful aroma and colorful presentation will surely whet your appetite.

A Feast for the Senses

This noodle dish is more than just a dish; it’s a feast for the senses. The combination of savory meats, succulent seafood, and vibrant vegetables, all embraced by the tender miki noodles, creates a symphony of flavors and textures that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

So, the next time you’re looking for a hearty and satisfying meal that’s deeply rooted in Filipino culinary tradition, consider preparing it. Its simple yet robust flavors are bound to become a household favorite, and with this easy-to-follow recipe, you’ll be able to recreate this culinary masterpiece in your own kitchen.
