Hi guys!
Today I’m sharing one of my husband’s favorite noodles dish all time! That is…
Filipino Pancit! (Pancit Bijon- the thin noodle one!)
It usually made with pork, chicken or/and shrimp. I make vegetarian version (no protein and vegetable stock instead chicken stock) sometimes as a side dish with other filipino foods.
If you haven’t checked my filipino pork rib adobo recipe, you are totally missing out!! It is so delicious with jasmine rice but it’s amazing to serve with this delicious pancit as well! 🙂 (Click the Picture ?? down below!)
One day I just figured that I make pancit with bacon way more often than any other protein because I always have bacon in my refrigerator! I literally use bacon for anything and everything, I mean, it’s bacon!! lol
I hope you give this recipe a try one day! If you haven’t tried Filipino food yet, this will be the best choice to try as a first time! 🙂

Notes
My package of rice noodles (Orchids brand) is pre-cooked and dried noodles, so I didn’t need to cook it. My package says just rinse under cold water and seaside but I just soak it in cold water to speed up the process.

My sons girlfriend is 1/4 Filipino. I told her the importance of continuing her family heritage in food. She’s taking forever to want to learn Filipino traditions so i’ll just surprise her with this dish!
WOOTWOOT!!! What an amazing person you are Jo Ann!!!! Good luck and have fun in your kitchen!! Enjoy delicious time with your loved ones!!! 😀
Where to buy the thick bacon like that?
I got it from local international market. 🙂 I believe your local butcher shop has it too, if you they make/sell bacon! 🙂
Hi!
May I know where you bought the Orchids brand rice noodles? I understand that it’s manufactured in Taiwan. We have several Asian groceries close to my place and I tried looking for the Orchids brand but no luck. I know there’s a lot of Rice noodle ( I use Excellent brand) I’d like to use the Orchids.
When I saw your video, I noticed that Orchids noodles is better than the other brands.
I hope you’ll answer my question. 🙂
Thank you very much!
I got it from my local Asian grocery store. (I’m living Northern California) Excellent brand also very good, which I use often too. 🙂
The person who taught me how to make pancit used Buddha Brand Noodles. I have always had good luck with them.
nice, i love pancit and adobo. do u guys have filipino friends for u to like these dishes? i just love your channel. keep on sharing good vibes and good recipes to all.
My hubby and I both have a handful Filipino friends! Learned so much form them!!
I’m filipino and this is the easiest recipe of pancit that i have seen so far. my mom makes pancit but it’s so much ingredients..Now i’m gonna make this tomorrow! can’t wait!
YAY! Good luck and have fun in your kitchen~!
I used only 1/4 cup of chicken stock and that was plenty of water. if I added 1/2 cup of chicken stock and 1/4 cup of soy sauce, I’m sure my noodles will be soggy. Just a quick tip. 🙂
Hi, I’m a new fan! I love watching your videos! 🙂
Just a tip on the pancit (I’m filipina) – squeeze some lemon or calamansi on top, it really makes it filipino.
I made some of your shaking beef and I’m going to make korean wings and jia jiang mein today!!
Over the weekend I purchased the whole asian pantry-just couldn’t find thick soy sauce.
