  1. 1

    Soak vermicelli in a bowl of hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain. Cut the noodles to your preferred length and set aside. Soak mushrooms in a second bowl of water and set aside to soften.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the garlic in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic to a bowl and set aside for garnish. Add the onion and achiote powder to the saucepan and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir in the bouillon until dissolved. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a boil.

    Drain the softened mushrooms and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

  4. 4

    Add the cabbage, bok choy, and carrot to the boiling water mixture. Add the vermicelli, mushrooms, black pepper, and chili powder. Cook, stirring well, until the pancit is slightly dry, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pancit to a platter. Garnish with egg slices and the browned garlic.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
