Recipe for "poncit"

NAME

     PONCIT - Filipino cabbage in garlic and soy sauce
     I got this from Lynne Fitzsimmons who got it from a Filipino
     friend of her mother's.

INGREDIENTS (serves 5)

     60 ml     cooking oil
     2         cloves garlic, minced
     1         onion, minced
     250 g     boiled meat (pork, chicken, or shrimp)
     ,         large carrot cut into thin strips
     1         small cabbage, shredded
     50 ml     soy sauce
     50 ml     broth
     1 bunch   celery
     250 g     rice sticks or wheat noodles
     5 ml      salt
     5 ml      MSG
     1         spring onion, chopped

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Saute garlic in cooking oil.
          (2)  Add onions, meat, carrot and cabbage.  Season with
               soy sauce and fry for 2 more minutes.
          (3)  Add broth and simmer, then add celery.
          (4)  When vegetables are cooked,  add  rice  sticks  or
               noodles and season with salt and MSG. Garnish with
               spring onions.
          (5)  Serve with lemon.

NOTES

     You will need a big frying pan to fit all  the  ingredients.
     You may leave out the salt and MSG if you like.  I have suc-
     cessfully used lightly-microwaved bacon as the meat.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 20 minutes.  Precision: approximate
     measurement OK.
