This Filipino pancit version is the most popular among Filipinos. Although our preference would tend to lean more towards different pancit variations like the pancit malabon or pancit palabok, we are amazed at friends and acquaintances who never get tired of this pancit bihon. Even in the office and school cafeterias, the pancit bihon seems to be a regular merienda menu. Pondering on this phenomena, we would think that maybe it is because the pancit bihon rice noodle is flavorful in itself and adds a unique flavor to the pancit bihon, that other Filipino noodle variations do not. The pancit bihon is simple to make yet tastes very good and here is a simple homemade recipe.
