Pancit Bihon Guisado (Rice Sticks Noodles with Vegetables)

Tuesday 14 Nov 2006

"Pansit" or Pancit bihon is one of the variety of Pancit Guisado is somewhat a Chinese-Filipino food dish that I love to cook always. I like to cook this pancit bihon guisado during my husband and sons birthday celebration but the rice noodle stick that I’m looking for is not available in the Asian Store. There are other rice noodle stick brands in the store but based on my experience, I don’t like those other brands.

In the end, I end up cooking my favorite Filipino food dish the humba recipe together with the lumpia shanghai and the wonton soup.

Ingredients :

· 1 tbsp. cooking oil
· 1/2 lb. pork, sliced
· 2 cloves garlic, minced
· 1 onion, sliced
· 1 large carrot, julienne
· 1 red bell pepper, julienne
· patis (fish sauce), salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste
· 2 cups chicken broth or water
· 1 cup cabbage leaves, cut into thin strips
· 1/2 lb. pancit bihon (rice sticks noodles)
· wedges of lemon or calamansi, for garnish

(Measurement Guides)

Cooking Procedures :

1. Rinse pancit bihon with tap water. Drain. Set aside.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Stir-fry pork slices until no longer pink in color.

3. Add garlic and onion. Sauté for a few minutes until soft.

4. Season with patis, salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste.

5. Add julienne carrots and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for a few minutes.

6. Add chicken broth or water. Correct the seasoning.

7. Heat until boiling and add the drained pancit bihon.

8. Let it simmer and stir to loosen the noodles (separate noodles by using a fork and a ladle)

9. Add a little more water or broth if you notice that is almost dry up and noodles ("pancit") are not yet cooked well. You may also add soy sauce if you find it pale and taste bland.

10. Add cabbage leaves (do not overcook) and then turn off the heat. Mix well.

11. Serve with lemon wedges or calamansi. Enjoy!

I definitely agree with the certain noodle stick that has to be used in cooking "pancit behon guisado". Luckily we have lots of oriental store here and I could find the noodle stick that I want. I haven't tried the pepper in my pancit I will include that when I cook pancit again. My husbands relatives (american) do like it very much and also the lumpia.

This two dish are always the most requested food everytime we have a party. Thanks for this recipe I can make mine more palatable.

Here in Lake city,FL. there's only 1 Oriental store. but, sometimes the bihon is old and pancit canton too. Most of the time, if you look up the label it doesn't say made in the phil. it usually made in thailand. of course, I have to patronize our sariling gawa. anyway, happy holidays to every filipino family around the world.
