Pancit – authentic Filipino-style fried noodles recipe made with chicken and vegetables. They are perfect for a special occasion but easy enough for any weeknight!
Hands down, some of my mama’s Filipino dishes like lumpia, adobo, fried rice and most definitely Pancit (which is pronounced Pon Sit)! As you may know by now, I’m half Filipino; my Pinoy Mama is an amazing cook and she taught me my love for cooking, for food, and all things delicious. She also taught me how food should be enjoyed. When cooking for us she always kept ingredients pretty simple.
This Pancit Recipe is one of my most favorite meals. In fact, when asked “What would you choose for your last meal?”
Authentic Pinoy Recipe
Pancit Recipe One time I was experimenting with her pancit bihon recipe and it turned out pretty well and she literally said, “This is the best pancit I’ve ever had – you make it better than I do!” And now when she makes it, she makes it my way. A compliment on my ‘Pino food from a true ‘Pino??! That’s how you know this Pancit Bihon recipe is legit, friends!
Which Ingredients are in Filipino Stir Fried Noodles? The secret ingredient in my Pancit recipe is a little bit of dry soup mix. It adds a ton of flavor! I also like to make things even easier by using shredded slaw mix because I hate having to buy a big head of cabbage when I only need a few cups. Other veggies to include are onions, celery and carrots. These are traditional veggies in Pancit, but feel free to use broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, snap peas or green beans. You can also use any variety of veggies you like. Another way to make this recipe easy is to use leftover chicken or precooked chicken. A rotisserie chicken is perfect. Make it vegetarian by leaving out the meat. Instead of chicken, use turkey, sliced pork, steak or shrimp. Traditionally Pancit is made with whatever you’ve got in the house – so use up those leftovers!
Substitutions
How to Store Pancit and How Long Will it Keep? Store any leftover Pancit in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Freeze: Once your Pancit is cooked, store any leftovers in an airtight freezer bag for up to 30 days. To thaw, just place in your fridge for 12 hours. To reheat, just microwave or heat in a skillet until warmed through.
This recipe comes together so easily. Here are some great tips to make Pancit:
How to Make Pancit
Slice your veggies thinly
Slice your chicken/protein into thin strips
Keep the pan hot in order to flash fry the meat and veggies
Sauté your veggies, then remove to a dish while you cook the chicken/protein unless using precooked
Cook the chicken/protein, then remove to the veggie dish while you cook the noodles
Make the sauce and add it to the pan to heat
Add the noodles; these will cook quickly and absorb the sauce
Once the noodles are cooked (just a few minutes), add in the veggies and chicken/protein and stir
Let’s get to it – I really think you’re going to love this recipe – from my family to yours!
