The dish is made by filling small, thin dough wrappers with a mixture of minced meat, vegetables, and spices, then boiling them in water until cooked. Pangsit rebus can be eaten as a snack or as part of a meal served with soup or noodles. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to make pangsit rebus at home.
Ingredients
The ingredients needed to make pangsit rebus include:
- 250g minced chicken or pork
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- 1 pack of pangsit wrappers
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced meat, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Then, add in the chopped cabbage, carrots, and scallions. Mix again until the vegetables are evenly distributed in the filling.
Step 2: Wrap the filling
Take one pangsit wrapper and place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half to create a triangle. Press the edges together to seal the filling inside. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
Step 3: Boil the pangsit
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully drop the pangsit into the pot. Cook the pangsit for 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove the pangsit from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a serving bowl.
