What Is Pancit?

Pancit is a Filipino dish. There are many different types of pancit, but it always features rice noodles and vegetables (and often meat, such as pork or chicken).

How to Make Pancit

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade pancit:

Soften the rice noodles.
Cook the onions and garlic in oil, then add the remaining ingredients.
Cook until the cabbage is soft, then stir in the softened noodles.
Garnish with lemon wedges.

Best Noodles for Pancit

Pancit is traditionally made with vermicelli rice noodles. The great thing about rice noodles? You don’t have to boil them! Just soften them in water and you’re good to go. If you don’t have rice noodles on hand, you can use udon or chow mein noodles.
