Pancit Bihon

Pancit or Pansit is a noodle dish introduced to Filipinos by part of our ancestry – the Chinese.  Now there are many variations of pancit like Pancit Bihon, Pancit Canton, Pancit Sotanghon, Pancit Miki, etc. But on top of these variations, there are combinations too, like Pancit Canton/Sotanghon, Pancit Bihon/Canton. And on top of these combinations there are more variations on the ingredients that give the dish different names (sigh). Now, on top of these ingredients, there are more variations to the variations and this is on the regions of the country where it originated. I could go on and on but. . . I’m TIRED already. I just want to make our Pancit Bihon and today, we will make it seafood style. We will be using shrimp, let’s eat!

    I am so happy to have stopped by today and found this. I have such fond memories of Pancit. My mom was quite the adventurous cook in her day and one of her good friends taught her how to make this dish. I absolutely loved it. I have always wanted to try it myself.

    Oh Ray – I love a good noodle bowl and this one looks delicious! As with any soup, especially noodle soups, I think the best part is the stock. I love that you made a shrimp stock and the addition of oyster sauce sounds interesting. I’ll have to remember that next time. What a hearty noodle bowl with the cabbage, carrots and shrimp! I could use a bowl of this to warm up right now. It’s cold here!

    I’ve seen a lot of food bloggers using bihon lately. And the funny thing is that I do crave it when I look at the photos… These thin noodles always make me feel like I can eat a little more (which means it’s hard to stop eating). Need to stop by Asian store soon to pick up bihon. I’ll try the brand you used too!

    Pancit bihon guisado is one of my favorite dishes to cook any busy night esp. when I have leftovers of pork, shrimps, chicken and lots of vegetables. Your photos are so mouthwatering, it’s hard to resist. Now I’m inspired to cook some pancit for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing this, Chef Ray!

    Ray, your food is so much better than your jokes :) This has my mouth watering. It looks like one of those dishes where you need to have everything ready to go as once you start cooking you’re firing ingredients into the pan in rapid succession.

    One of my favorite dishes. I don’t recall seeing cornstarch sticks in the Asian markets I frequent, must look more carefully. Have seen tapioca sticks and of course rice sticks which I assume are interchangable.

      Hi Norma,

      I remember bihon used to be called rice sticks and not cornstarch. I’m sure if you use rick sticks, it will be fine. Thank your for dropping by, Norma! :)

    I always have pancit bihon in my pantry. It comes in handy when you want to throw something new (and pandagdag sa ulam) when you have left-overs. But as always Ray, your panict bihon picture is like the centerfold of all pancit bihon pictures I’ve seen.

    Enjoy your day!

    Sounds like Pancit is a complicated story Ray. There must be all kind of regional versions of it. Just as Reem mentioned, I have seen them in stores as well, but I never knew what to do with those asian noodles. I am so used to European pasta, all this is new to me. Thank you for explaining and sharing your recipe Ray.

    Yummy! Look at those succulent shrimp! In Malaysia, we just call it bee hoon/ bihoon or mee hoon regardless the variations:) I miss having mee hoon for breakfast with a cup of really thick local coffee…it is too much work to whip up bee hoon in the morning though, so I can have a plate of your delicious looking pancit right now for my second breakfast.
