    What is Pancit?

    It's a quick and easy egg noodle dish that is stir-fried with savory pieces of meat and vegetables like cabbage, green beans, carrots, and peapods.

    Traditionally in the Philippines, one serves Pancit noodles

    Pancit is pronounced "pan-set".....so the "c" sounds more like an "s".

    Why We Love This Dish

    • When you tell your friends {Filipinos or non-Filipinos} you'll be bringing "Pancit" you will be treated like the goddess that you are!
    • It will surely be a hit at any Potluck dinner party!
    • It's great to serve at your own dinner party!!
    • It's a dish that is quite simple to make but will for sure impress your friends not only with the colorful presentation but the wonderful flavor profiles of all the ingredients as well.
    • It's a healthy dish!
    • Your friends and family will love it and YOU!
    • One-pot meal!!

    Ingredients Needed

    • Olive Oil
    • Chicken, Pork or Shrimp
    • Garlic
    • Onions
    • Carrots
    • Peapods
    • Scallions
    • Chicken Stock
    • Pancit Noodles
    • Soy Sauce or Coconut Amino
    • Sesame Oil
    • Salt & Pepper
    • Cilantro (optional)

    Key Ingredient Notes

    This recipe uses Pancit Noodles which can be found in your local grocery store located in the Asian aisle. The Pancit noodles are dried noodles and come packed in a cellophane bag.

    As another option, you can also use fresh egg noodles, which you will most likely find in an Asian market. These will most likely be located in the produce aisle or refrigerated section. I have also seen them frozen.

    How To Make This Dish

    • STEP 1: Stir-fry the meat in olive oil, add garlic and onions.  
    • STEP 2: Add the carrots, peapods, and scallions.
    • STEP 3: Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
    • STEP 4: Add the vegetables and meat mixture with the noodles.

    Cooking Tips

    Cutting the vegetables all the same size will keep cooking times at a minimum. As a trick, I like to blanch my vegetables too. This keeps them crisp and retains the vibrant colors nicely.

    What is blanching? Blanching is when food is briefly immersed in hot water, then shocked in iced water to stop the vegetables from cooking.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can this dish be made in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make this delicious and tasty Pancit recipe ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until it's time to serve. A quick warm-up in the microwave is all it takes!

    Can I reheat Pancit?

    Yes! Not only does Pancit reheats well in a microwave or stovetop, but it's also delicious hot or cold. As such this is a great dish to bring to potluck dinners.

    How is it stored and for how long?

    Promptly place it in the refrigerator in a sealed container within 1 to 2 hours of serving. And IF you even have any leftover store in the coldest part of the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

    Can I freeze Pancit?

    Yes, however, Pancit Noodles is made to be eaten as soon as it's cooked to savor and enjoy all the flavors and textures of the fresh ingredients.

    Can this be made spicy?

    Oh yes! I would recommend serving this with Chili Sauce for a spicier flavor.

    Filipino Pancit Noodles

    Let me bring you a sampling of a well-known recipe from my native land, Philippines, called Pancit.  It’s pronounced, “Pan-set”.  It’s mainly stir-fried noodles with fresh vegetables and it can be served with or without meat.  It’s very simple to make.  Very light in calories and oh so tasty!

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 cup chicken
    • 1 clove of garlic crushed
    • ½ cup onions thinly sliced
    • ½ cup fresh carrots thinly sliced or julienned
    • ½ cup fresh peapods with stringy ends removed
    • ¼ cup fresh scallions sliced
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • 8- ounce pack of pancit noodles
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
    • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
    • salt and pepper to taste optional
    • Cilantro for garnish

    Instructions

    • In a skillet, on medium high heat, stir fry the meat in vegetable oil, until no longer pink, then add garlic and onions.  Cook until transparent without burning the garlic.
    • Add the carrots, peapods and scallions, waiting 2 to 3 minutes in between.  I like my veggies crispy.  Spoon the ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
    • Meanwhile, in the same skillet (without rinsing the skillet, as this will enhance the seasoning of the noodles) add the chicken stock , soysauce and sesame oil.  Add the noodles and stir fry until the noodles are tender to your liking.  Mix the vegetables and meat mixture in with the noodles.
    • You may season with more salt and pepper if you wish.  Serve with a sprig of cilantro.

    Notes

    • Serve with a slice of lemon on the side.  I find that a light squeeze of the lemon juice gives the dish an added zing!
    • For a non-meat variety, use fried tofu, and/or a combination of other green and leafy vegetables.
    • Use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce if desired.
