Looking for a quick and delicious vegetarian dish? Try our easy-to-make Vegetable Filipino Pancit recipe! In just 30 minutes, you'll have a flavorful plate of noodles that will satisfy your cravings.
In a wok or large skillet, over medium-high heat, add 1T of olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add garlic and onions. Cook until transparent without burning the garlic.
2 Tablespoon Olive Oil, ½ cup Onion, 2 Garlic Cloves
Slowly stir-fry by adding one vegetable type at a time (carrots, broccoli, pea pods, green beans, celery) giving them 1 to 2 minutes in between. Cooking it for more than that will overcook the veggies and result in a dull-colored presentation. See note #2 below.
1 cup Carrots, 1 cup Broccoli, 1 cup Pea pods, 1 cup Green Beans, 1 cup Celery
Add the noodles, water or vegetable broth, sesame oil, soy sauce, and the remaining olive oil. Stir fry all the ingredients until they are all blended and heated through.
Serve Pancit in a large bowl with some chopped scallions, cilantro, or fried garlic for that extra burst of flavor.
Notes
When cutting vegetables, be sure to cut them all the same size so they cook quickly and evenly.
If you're entertaining, presentation is key. So be sure not to overcook the vegetables. You can also blanch the vegetables to preserve the texture and color of the vegetables.
