Pancit

Often served for special occasions like Noche Buena or birthdays, pancit is a Filipino dish of stir-fried noodles, meat and vegetables coated in a savory-sweet sauce. Pancit, which means “noodles”, has many delicious variations. This one, made with tender vermicelli rice noodles, carrots, cabbage, and chicken or pork, is known specifically as pancit bihon. Feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or snow peas. You can top the noodles with lechon kawali, crispy and juicy fried pork belly, and use the stock from that dish instead of chicken stock. (Just be sure to adjust the salt as necessary.) Pancit can be prepared in large batches, but however it’s served, include wedges of calamansi, if available. It’s a citrus fruit native to the Philippines that will brighten up the entire dish.

About this Recipe

Craving a quick, flavorful meal that brings the vibrant taste of the Philippines to your table? This Filipino Pancit recipe delivers an authentic, easy stir-fry that's perfect for any night of the week.

This Pancit stands out for its straightforward approach to creating a deeply savory, satisfying noodle dish. The delicate Thai Vermicelli rice noodles are stir-fried with tender pork, crisp vegetables, and coated in a rich, umami-packed sauce, ensuring every bite is balanced and full of flavor. It’s a complete meal that comes together quickly, making it an ideal choice for busy cooks.

You'll be greeted with tender, savory pieces of pork mingling with the soft, yet firm, rice noodles. Each forkful offers a delightful texture contrast from the vibrant shredded cabbage and sweet sliced carrots, all brought together by a rich, savory sauce. The subtle aromatics from the diced yellow onion and minced garlic truly elevate this classic Filipino comfort food, creating a deeply satisfying experience that feels both wholesome and comforting.

While this recipe features savory pork, you could easily substitute it with chicken or shrimp for a different take. For a vegetarian option, consider simply increasing the amount of shredded cabbage and sliced carrots, or adding a plant-based protein like tofu. You can also adjust the amount of soy sauce to suit your personal preference.

This hearty noodle dish is perfect as a fulfilling weeknight dinner or for sharing at family gatherings. Serve it hot as a complete, standalone meal.
