Pancit Molo
Filipino pork dumpling soup
Pancit Molo (also Molo Soup or Molo Balls Soup)[1] or Filipino pork dumpling soup, is a type of soup using wonton wrappers which originated from Molo district in Iloilo City, Philippines.[2] It consists of a mixture of ground pork wrapped in molo or wonton wrapper, shredded chicken meat, and also shrimp. The piping-hot soup is often ladled into serving bowls, and garnished with green onions and fried garlic bits for another layer of flavor. Pancit, which loosely translates to "noodle" is a common cuisine in the Philippines.[3] The "noodle" acting in this dish comes from the wonton wrappers added to this dish, which draws from Chinese cuisine.[3] Under this influence, the wontons within the soup have been compared to "siomai dumplings."[4]
