Lunch: Clealeo Gluten Free Pancit Palabok


I vowed I would start blogging if I liked how the palabok tasted. Yes, I tasted as I made it, but there was NO way of knowing until I actually ate it all. My recipe made 5 servings, so I had to wait until lunch at work to have a verdict about it... and obviously I liked it if I am posting now.

NO, this is by no means a healthy REPLICA of palabok. The taste is impossible to replicate without shrimp cube and fish sauce, but I tried my best. I think that I could revamp this as I learn more about flavorings, but I literally used what was accessible to me. It tasted light, just the right amount of flavor. I scraped the bowl, and that is enough of a sign to me that it was good. It prayed it would be good, because I have battle scars from hot coconut oil.


PS: Paleo and clean are in quotes because everyone interprets this eating lifestyle in a KAZILLION different ways. Let me know what you think!

Noodles (From nomnompaleo):

1 spaghetti squash: Pick one that is heavier than it looks and is golden.

1. Chop the squash in half
2. Take all the seeds out
3. Cover the inside with melted coconut oil
4. Place in a microwaveable dish that is big enough for the two sides to lie down flat, insides up
5. Microwave, covered
6. Use a fork and scrape the insides until you cannot scrape anymore
7. Place in a separate dish

Sauce:

2 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 lb ground turkey
3 cups chicken broth
6 tablespoons spelt flour
2 tbsp fish sauce (red boat) but I only had sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1. Brown ground turkey in coconut oil. 
2. Pour in chicken broth and allow to boil.
3. Add spelt and mix until evenly blended and simmer until thick.
4. Add fish sauce and black pepper to taste. Add sauce on top of noodles.

Topping:

1 cup Procuitto, thinly sliced and cut into small pieces
½ cup Snapea Crips (pounded)
2 hard Boiled Eggs,sliced
½ cup Cooked Shrimps (boiled or steamed)
1/4 cup  Scallions, finely chopped
3 tbsp Fried Garlic
2 pieces Lemon, sliced (or 6 to 8 pieces calamansi)
21 Seasoning (Trader Joes)
Pinch Curry Powder

 Decor as previous picture if you want to be authentic and pretty. All you really need to do is make sure all ingredients are evenly spread throughout the top of the sauce. Dig in!



Meal prep action. Let me know what you think of my first clealeo palabok!
