• 250 grams fresh miki noodles
• 250 grams ground pork

Directions

1. 1

   Cook the fresh miki noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large pan, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until they become fragrant and translucent.

3. 3

   Add the ground pork and cook until it turns brown and fully cooked. Break it apart into smaller pieces as it cooks.

4. 4

   Pour in the soy sauce, vinegar, and fish sauce. Mix well and let it simmer for a few minutes until the pork absorbs the flavors.

5. 5

   Season the pork mixture with ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning with salt if necessary. Keep it warm.

   In a separate pan, poach four eggs. You can do this by bringing water to a simmer, adding a bit of vinegar, and carefully cracking the eggs into the simmering water. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

   To assemble the Pancit Batil Patong, place a serving of cooked miki noodles on a plate.
