Pancit Recipe
Print This Page
This pancit recipe is my Americanized version of a Filipino favorite dish. :) I've tried to keep it authentic; yet, cater to the tastes of foreigners.
Traditional pancit may include shrimp, pork, liver and/or Chinese sausage; including portions of fat. I use only chicken breast. As well, I don't include patis, which is a very strong fish sauce, and have cut back on the amount of oil used.
I figure if you're a Filipino; you don't need this recipe. You have your own unique pancit recipe, and more power to you :)
Traditionally, noodle dishes like pancit, are served at celebrations, because they symbolize prosperity & long life.

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 3 inch strips 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 medium onion, chopped fine Salt & Pepper to taste 1/2 - 1 lb. green beans, julienne sliced 1 - 2 carrots, julienne sliced 1/2 head cabbage, cut up chunky 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 pkg. bihon or canton noodles Bihon are like a thin vermicelli; while, canton noodles are thicker like spaghetti.
1. Cut up vegetables & chicken breast. 2. Heat a small amount of oil in a wok or large, deep fry pan. Saute garlic & onion briefly; add chicken & cook. Season with salt & pepper. 3. Add cut up vegetables & 1/4 cup soy sauce. Cook until vegetables are tender; remove meat & veggies from wok. 4. Add enough water to wok to cover noodles; about 2 - 4 cups. Bring water to a boil & add noodles. Cook until tender; this can take about 7 - 10 minutes. Separate the noodles as they are cook. Water should be completely absorbed after cooking. If not, drain. 5. Add meat & vegetables to cooked noodles; stir to combine. When serving, each person can squeeze kalamansi over pancit. Kalamansi is a very tiny lime tasting citrus fruit.
Each person can add spicy soy sauce or spicy vinegar to taste. I like to add a heavy dose of coarsely ground pepper. Hope you enjoy this Americanized version of a favorite Filipino dish :)
