Pancit Bihon - Filipino Rice Noodles
Pancit bihon guisado is a classic Filipino stir-fried noodle dish that is a layer of flavours and textures in every bite. The dish includes silky noodles, robust bite-sized pork, shrimp, crunchy vegetables, and the savoury aroma of patis (fish sauce) mixed with the citrus sweetness of calamansi (lime). Put it all together and you have a colourful and flavourful one-dish meal.

Pancit is a celebratory dish, one that is served for family get-togethers and to celebrate milestones, especially birthdays. Our elders often say the noodles invite long life and prosperity, so pancit is cooked when we gather to celebrate life’s special moments.

Lumpiang Togue (Beansprout Spring Rolls) 

Lumpiang Togue is a variation of spring roll. Instead of meat, mung bean sprouts (known as togue) are used as the major ingredient. This dish is a popular appetizer and snack in the Philippines and it is best eaten when dipped in vinegar with onions and whole peppercorn.

Lumpia is a fantastic side dish to accompany pancit bihon.
