The Best Pancit Bihon Recipes

QUICK AND EASY PANCIT

Steps:

• Place the rice noodles in a large bowl, and cover with warm water. When soft, drain, and set aside.
• Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in chicken cabbage, carrots and soy sauce. Cook until cabbage begins to soften. Toss in noodles, and cook until heated through, stirring constantly. Transfer pancit to a serving dish and garnish with quartered lemons.

PANCIT BIHON (OR BIJON)

Steps:

• Start by soaking rice stick noodles in warm water for 15 minutes or until softened, then drain.
• Bring chicken, pork and 1-1/2 cups water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat; shred the meat into small pieces- reserve the water.
• (A sturdy mixer such as a Kitchen Aid can be handy in shredding meat using the whisk attachment).
• Heat oil in a large, wide saute pan.
• Saute garlic and onion in oil until onion is translucent.
• Add shredded meat, shrimp and soy sauce and stir-fry 5 minutes.
• Over high heat, add cabbage, carrots, salt, pepper and 1 cup of broth.
• Stir fry for an additional 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add rice noodles, tossing gently (wooden spoons work best) until cooked through and well blended, approximately 3 minutes.
• If the mixture seems dry, add more broth.
• Serve immediately with soy sauce.
