It’s quick to cook but still feels celebration-ready, which is why it often shows up at family gatherings. You can find the key ingredients at Asian Food Shop

History and origin 🧭

The word pancit is used in the Philippines for a wide range of noodle dishes. The roots are strongly influenced by Chinese cooking, but Filipino versions have their own signature style. They’re often cooked in larger batches, shared at the table and associated with good luck and long life. The Bihon style is known for thin noodles and a lighter, juicy sauce that soaks in beautifully.

Typical ingredients and variations 🥣

  • Bihon noodles thin noodles that cook fast and absorb flavor well
  • Umami base soy sauce and often oyster sauce
  • Vegetables carrot, cabbage, spring onions
  • Protein shrimp, chicken or a mix
  • Stock keeps noodles flavorful and juicy
