Filipino Pancit

Filipino Pancit

Filipino Pancit, Pancit Canton, Pancit Bihon, and Bam-I are all varieties of a stir-fried noodle dish. Excellent when you need to feed a big crowd.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs. uncooked noodles – this version used a combination of pancit and vermicelli
  • 4 cups sliced mixed veggies: cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions
  • 1 lb. lean pork, cut into very small pieces
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 6 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 pork bouillon cube
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  1. Soak the vermicelli in water for about 5 minutes or until soft.
  2. Brown the pork in the oil with the soy sauce, garlic, and onion.
  3. Add the water and bouillon cube to the pork and bring to a low simmer. Add the vegetables and cook for 5-10 minutes. Add the uncooked pancit noodles and soaked vermicelli. Simmer over low heat until the noodles soak up all the broth.

Notes

  • If traveling, pack noodles, sauces, and toppings in separate containers.
  • Plan ahead: If you’re traveling from your home to the venue, remember to pack all the pancit dish components separately, then assemble at the party venue instead. This makes sure that sauce doesn’t sink to the bottom of the noodles, and that meat, seafood, and vegetables don’t go limp being squished together throughout transport.
