Time 40m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs cooked pork (see note)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nuoc mam)
1 head cabbage, cut into 1 inch wedges
2 carrots, julienned in 2 inch lengths
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 (6 ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and sliced
2 cups chicken broth
1 (6 ounce) package rice noodles
1 bunch green onion, thinly sliced
2 limes or 2 lemons, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • First a note*** I used left over pork roast cooked in the crockpot for this recipe.
  • However, there are many variations of pancit-- some calling for a combination of pork, chicken, shrimp.
  • You may start with raw meats just poach them in a small amount of water and cool and shred.
  • Save the broth to use where chicken broth is called for later in the recipe.
  • (Reserving 2 cups).
  • Soak rice noodles in hot tap water in large bowl for about 20 minutes and then drain in colander.
  • Do this while preparing vegetables.
  • Heat oil to medium in a very large pan with deep sides.
  • Saute onion and garlic 3 minutes.
  • Add meat, soy sauce and fish sauce.
  • (Another note, you may choose to add more fish sauce but this is really potent stuff. If you have never cooked with it before, stick to the recipe.)
  • Turn up the heat to high.
  • Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, celery, a pinch of salt and pepper and 1 cup of broth.
  • Stir fry 2 minutes or until veggies are crisp tender.
  • Reduce heat to low and add rice noodles, in small amounts, stirring to break up.
  • Add broth as needed to keep mixture from becoming too dry.
  • Cook just until noodles are warm.
  • Serve with lime or lemon wedges, scallions to sprinkle on top and extra soy sauce.
  • You may also offer cilantro leaves and or hard cooked egg slices.

Tips:

  • Soak the noodles. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large pot or wok. This will give the noodles plenty of room to cook and prevent them from clumping together.
  • Cook the noodles in batches if necessary. If you have a large amount of noodles, you may need to cook them in batches to prevent them from overcrowding the pot.
  • Stir the noodles frequently. This will help to prevent them from sticking together and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add the vegetables and meat towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season the pancit bihon to taste. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and/or oyster sauce until the noodles are flavorful.
  • Serve the pancit bihon immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Pancit bihon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a popular dish to serve at parties and potlucks. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, pancit bihon is a great dish for beginner cooks. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give pancit bihon a try!
