- Put Napa cabbage into the pot. Boil for 1 minute. Remove and set aside.

- Once the oil gets hot, add the pork. Sauté until light brown
- Pour fish sauce into the pot along with the annatto water. Stir.
- Pour 3 ½ cups water into the pot and let it boil. Cover the pot and continue to cook in medium heat for 15 to 18 minutes or until the pork gets tender. Note: If needed, you can add more water to prevent the sauce from drying out.
- Remove the cover and Knorr Shrimp Cube and tinapa flakes. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.
- Combine flour with ½ cup water. Stir until texture becomes smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot. Stir. Continue to cook until desired thick texture is achieved.
- Add the ground black pepper. Stir.
- Assemble the palabok by placing noodles in a plate. Pour the sauce over the noodles and then top with Napa cabbage, shrimp, and sliced boiled eggs. Sprinkle crushed chicharon and chopped scallions on top.
