Where to buy tinapa flakes for palabok near me?

Tinapa flakes are shredded smoked fish, usually galunggong or milkfish, sprinkled over pancit palabok as a smoky, salty topping. They are sold ready to use in frozen packs.

Thaw the tinapa flakes if frozen, then sprinkle them over the dressed palabok noodles along with the other toppings and serve with calamansi. Follow the package directions for thawing and storage.

Galunggong (round scad) tinapa is smaller and saltier, while bangus (milkfish) tinapa has milder, fattier flesh. Both are smoked and used for flakes; Lucia and Angelina flakes on Weee! are made from galunggong.

Keep frozen tinapa flakes in the freezer, such as Lucia Dried Smoked Fish Flakes Galunggong, and follow the package directions on thawing and the best-by date.

Pancit palabok is a Filipino noodle dish of rice noodles in a thick orange sauce made with annatto, shrimp broth, and often pork, topped with shrimp, hard-boiled egg, crushed chicharron, scallions, and smoked fish flakes.

You can flake your own tinapa, such as Sarangani Bay Tinapa Boneless Baby Bangus or Tropics Boneless Tinapa Bangus, by pulling the smoked fish into small pieces. Any smoked fish with a mild smoky flavor will work, though the taste will differ.

You need palabok noodles (a thin cornstarch or rice noodle), a palabok sauce or gravy mix, and toppings. Weee! lists Super Q Special Palabok Cornstarch Noodles, Hobe Pancit Palabok Noodles, and Mama Sita's Palabok Oriental Gravy Powder Mix.
