Pancit Bihon recipe

Pancit Bihon is a type of Filipino noodle dish popularly known as “pancit”. It is one of the common pancit versions, if not the most popular. Pancit bihon makes use of thin rice noodles, which are also called rice sticks.

There is a hundred or more ways to cook pancit bihon; each vary on the combination of ingredients, cooking method, and preparation. There is no incorrect or wrong way to do so; all cooks have their own version. It all boils down to how good the final result is and how quick was the dish completed.

This pancit bihon recipe is an enhanced version of pancit guisado. “Guisado” is a term synonymous to saute. This means that most of the time, all the ingredients were cooked that way.

One of the short cuts in this recipe is the soaking of the noodles in water to make it soft. It saves a lot of cooking time and effort because the noodles are almost ready when added to the pan. Make sure though that the noodles will still hava a small room to absorb the seasonings in the pan, so do not oversoak it in water.

Also note that you can use either boiled chicken, rotiserie chicken, roasted chicken, or lechon manok. The Chinese sausage adds a huge difference and it complements well with the chopped parsley to make the dish a success.

    So is the water room temp or warm in the bag with the rice noodles? How much water is on the bag?

      Good question. I use tap water. It usually has a temperature between 45 to 50F.

      The amount of water will depend on the size of the bag (or bowl, if you are using one). The goal here is to ensure that the noodles are completely soaked in water.

    […] The good thing about Filipino pancit in general is that it combines meat, noodles, and veggies. It makes it a complete meal by itself and it represents almost all the food groups that our body needs. Always feel free to alter the recipe by adding more vegetables. You can do the same when cooking Pancit Bihon. […]
