Directions
Pancit bihon is a classic Filipino noodle dish, that can be put together using simple ingredients. The basic ingredients for this dish are bihon or rice vermicelli or rice sticks, protein such as chicken, pork and/or shrimp, vegetables plus the seasonings. Try out an easy and authentic Pancit recipe for home cooks!
How to Make Pancit:
- Soak the rice sticks in water, for 5-10 minutes or until they turn soft. Drain on colander and set aside. Prepare the garlic, onions and vegetables.
- Heat a wok or skillet on medium to high heat. Add the oil and stir fry the garlic and onions until the onions turn clear. Add the chicken and shrimp, stir fry until the surface turn white, follow by the cabbage and carrots.
- Add the rice sticks in the wok or skillet, stir to combine well with the spatula. If you have a pair of long chopsticks for cooking, use the chopsticks instead of the spatula. This will ensure that the rice sticks won’t break too much.
- Add all the ingredients in the Seasonings. Stir to mix well. As soon as the noodles are cooked through, about 1 minute, add the chopped scallion, stir and dish out immediately.
- Serve the noodles with calamansi lime, or regular lime. Squeeze some of the juice over the top of the noodles before serving.
