Filipino Pancit Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Pancit is a classic Filipino Recipe. It’s a quick and easy stir-fried rice noodle dish with a savory sauce, pork and vegetables.

Recently I have been thinking about family traditions and recipes always come to mind. For just about every Filipino family out there someone has a recipe for Pancit, a
stir-fried noodle dish with meat and vegetables. Since Pancit literally means noodles there are many different versions of this dish out there and no two families make it
the same. I knew my dad knew the recipe so I gave him a call.

7/3/24, 5:10 PM Classic Filipino Pancit Recipe with Pork - Life's Ambrosia

Like many family recipes, this wasn’t written down, my dad just remembered that my grandma added a little of this and a little of that when she was making it. I jotted
down the ingredients and instructions and set out to create it. The results were spot on and childhood memories flooded back. I love that about food.

What is Pancit?
In case you’re wondering, pancit is a traditional filipino noodle dish. Much like a stir-fry it is made with noodles, vegetables and meat.

7/3/24, 5:10 PM Classic Filipino Pancit Recipe with Pork - Life's Ambrosia

And much like other stir-fries, you could use just about any combo that you like:

VEGETABLES: Cabbage and carrots are common. As are onions, green beans, celery and snow peas.

MEAT: Chicken, beef or pork as well as shrimp are common.

NOODLES: Traditionally, pancit is made with vermeclli rice noodles. The great thing about most rice noodles is that they simply need to soak rather than boil so it saves
some time! That being said, you could use udon noodles, chow mein or pancit canton noodles if you can find them.

DES’ TIP: The key with any stir fry is to make sure that the vegetables are all cut uniformly so that they cook at similar times.

7/3/24, 5:10 PM Classic Filipino Pancit Recipe with Pork - Life's Ambrosia

In this recipe, I use boneless pork chops, cabbage, carrots, yellow onion, green onion, and rice noodles.

How Do You Make Filipino Pancit?


STEP #1: Soak noodles according to package directions.

STEP #2: Cut pork and vegetables into similar sizes. Set aside.

STEP #3: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add pork, onions, garlic and soy sauce. Cook just until the pork starts to brown.

STEP #4: Add in the vegetables. Pour in chicken broth, add noodles and cook until the liquid is absorbed.

What do you serve with Pancit?


One thing I love about stir-fries is that you’ve got your veggies and meat all in one dish already. BUT if you are looking for something to serve along side try some
sauteed broccoli and of course, Filipino lumpia.

Shame on you people that gave it five stars and fooled me into thinking it was real pancit. Maybe you’ve never had real pancit. There’s not enough flavor in this dish. I
had to add some Hoisin sauce ( unfortunately the only type of seasoning I had at home) to even give it any flavor! This recipe needs some work I read down below
somebody said don’t forget the oyster sauce yeah I’ll say! I don’t even know if that alone would help it.

Pancit is made with love and there are a lot of versions. I have grown up eating pancit and this is very similar to how my Mom makes her version. People need to
understand that these recipes are good because of their simplicity and need to stop over complicating it. Thank you Des for sharing our Filipino culture with so many.

too much noodle not enough umami.

I would recommend using double the portions of everything and only use 1 8.8 oz package of rice vermicelli.

As it is, this recipe is nothing but bland noodle. Salt/pepper to taste shouldn’t even be an option as it means it was designed to be bland from the start.

I remember eating this growing up with my Filipino aunt and Lola. They were always in the kitchen making some kind of Filipino dish and weren’t shy about sharing
their recipes and teaching me how to cook with love. My other aunt is Hispanic and she shared many of her family recipes with me also. Being the only “gringa” in the
family I am thankful for the culture my family taught me. Now as an adult when I make something other than “traditional American” people are always shocked at the fact
that I know how to make so many other authentic foods that bring back childhood memories. Those precious moments I spent in the kitchen with my aunts will forever be
cherished. Thank you for sharing your family recipe. Ours is a little different and I’m making it for dinner tonight. I hope it’s still as good as I remember, it’s been years
since I have made it.

Thank you, I grew up in a household where Lola made pancit or adobo for our lunch maybe 3-4 days a week. As Lolo today – I make pancit for my grand babies at least
once a week. Your recipe is basic, easy and fun. This week I started the grandkids help preping the meal “and” I asked the older kids to find a recipe on the internet we
could use. (This way they can see many other versions) we had so much fun… last night they made pancit with their mom at home – my daughter was so very happy. So
thank you for sharing and help creating a fun family moment the grandkids will carry forever.
Oh, and for those that make negative comments – they don’t understand yet. Pancit is not made with ingredients – it’s made with love.
My 3 little “albino pinto’s” my not look Filipino to anyone but me – if you ask them what nationality – the oldest will always say the best part of who I am is in the
kitchen with Lolo and Lola.

There are so many different variations of Pancit depending on the region. My husbands step-mother was Filipina & she taught me how to make Pancit & Lumpia. We (the
family) serve it at every family occasion, baby shower, birthdays, weddings, funerals, holidays, basically anytime the entire 64 family members are gathered together. I
always get asked to bring the pancit & it goes FAST!

7/3/24, 5:10 PM Classic Filipino Pancit Recipe with Pork - Life's Ambrosia
This recipe is a basis to get started making pancit, but you can individualize it anyway that suits your palet. I use this basic recipe. However, I’ve got my own variations.
I’ve included a few tips & notations on my mother-in-laws recipe. Hope this helps & may you enjoy your own spin on a Filipino table staple.

1) You can sub the pork for shrimp or chicken they cook much faster & really soak up the flavor of the broth.
2) For those of you whom are vegetarian. Just leave out the meats & sub out the chicken stock for vegetable broth instead.
3) Highly recommend Mai-Fun Rice Noodles (rice sticks). You can usually pick these up at your local walmart. But suggest a local Asian Food Store as they will more
likely be in stock.
4) If you’re concerned about bland noodles, then I recommend not pre-soaking. Just add them in when you add the broth. I also recommend 1-2 teaspoons of “Oyster
Sauce” or “Fish Sauce” into the broth mixture just before adding in your noodles, as the noodles will really soak up the flavor.
Filipino food can be very salty. I suggest using a low sodium soy sauce.
5) As far as Rice Noodles go, Mai-Fun are the best to use. You’ll notice when removing from the packaging that the noodles are “folded” into three sections. You can just
take a pair of scissors and cut them into individual sections. I promise 1 section will feed 4 people + a little left over. 2 sections will feed a family of 5-6 and the entire
package will feed 8-10 people. Just make sure you have a large enough pan/wok. You can also save the extra uncooked noodles in a ziplock for next time.
6) To save some vegetable prep time, you can buy pre-cut “matchstick carrots”, pre-bagged snow peas, cabbage or broccoli slaw & one other thing definitely add frozen
french-style green beans to make it more Filipino Authentic.

Hi Robyn! You could totally use prawns instead of the pork to make shrimp pancit. I would cook the prawns first then transfer them to a plate before cooking the
veggies. Then after you cook the veggies, add the cooked shrimp back to the pan with the noodles. :)

I am on a low carb, low sodium diet. All recipes are possible. Part of my fun is changing up the ingredients to create the flavours and textures I like. There are many
recipes available that cut both carbs and salt for pancit. I do love the original though. I consider my daily carb limit more than the one meal. This recipe is very similar to
the one my neighbor tempts me with. Thumbs up!

To some of the comments saying it was bland, noodles especially the rice ones, soak up a lot so you have to be generous with your seasoning.
As a Pinay, I’ve tweaked mine using sesame oil and light olive oil as these two are always in my cupboard.
I use a lot of stock cube to make the broth, and garlic granules as well as fresh garlic.
My mum would use a lot of soy sauce till it changed the colour, she never cooked it as pale as this.
Therefore didn’t use salt, did add pepper though.
My cousin soaks her noodles, don’t know why she bothers, I don’t.
Extra effort in my opinion, I do it exactly like this.
So I say keep practicing and tweaking your version.
I’m sure you must have willing test tasters to help out :)

The best way to make any meat soft and tender is you can put some baking soda on your meat. You can put one teaspoon of baking soda in one pound of meat. Wash your
meat first then squeeze the water out from the meat then mix it with baking soda and then let it aside for at least 15 minutes. You can then do whatever you want with the
meat. You can marinate or grill it. Just don’t mix the baking soda with your marinated sauce. Please try it then you will see the difference.

This was delicious! I just made it tonight for dinner, the only thing I did was use less onion, added a little more canola oil, and a tbsp more soy sauce. Also had to
substitute the Vermicelli rice noodles for stir fry rice noodles since I couldn’t find them at the grocery store. I definitely would make this again, the only thing I’m not sure
about is how to make the pork a little less tough, because it wasn’t horrible, it just seemed slightly chewy and tough to chew. Still regardless, I LOVED this!!

January 12, 2023 at 2:39 pm

To be fair I did leave out the salt and pepper, used low sodium chicken broth and instead of pork chops I used pork tenderloin. The S&P and low sodium chicken broth are
for health reasons. My wife did try to add a little pepper to hers but did nothing and I did try adding a little more low sodium soy sauce. Sadly we both felt this was pretty
blah and flavorless. And just now I read JOSELITO’s comment. I don’t know if cooking the noodles in with the Pansit would have helped so take my review with a grain
of salt, but I would certainly add something to give it a little more flavor. On the up side I did have a side of Kimchi with it and that helped the few bite I had go down.
Sorry, maybe someone could respond to what would help me out if I try again some day.

Hi Terry, I am so sorry to hear that this didn’t have enough flavor for you or your wife! Using low-sodium chicken broth, no salt and pepper and losing the fat from
the pork chops in exchange for the pork tenderloin did probably have an impact on the overall flavor of the dish. I do like Joselitos tip to add the dry noodles to the
pan and admit that I have never tried it that way before since most noodle brands tell you to soak them first. If it does work like he said, I do think that that would
help you with the flavor!

Reply

Joselito

January 8, 2023 at 8:28 pm

The reason there is a lot of liquid on the Pansit is that when you soak the noodles in the water prior to cooking. The noodles lost the ability to suck the water or juice on
your pan. The way I cook the Pansit I do not soak it in the water. When you put your dried noodles in the pan while you are cooking them. The noodles will suck all the
liquid in your pan. Doing this will enhance the flavor of the Pansit. If it gets too dry you can always add some chicken stock to your Pancit.

I’m happy to hear that it smells and tastes great! Sorry to hear about the issue with the liquid. My only thought is maybe your pan wasn’t large enough? When the

Everything else seems very basic in what I have tasted in p a n c i t. I made a previously for my son’s rehearsal dinner. Will be adding shrimp with the pork.

Excellent recipe, thanks! I live in the Philippines and it’s nice to see a pancit recipe without some form of MSG added. Here the common form is known as “magic sarap”

Spot on delicious! I have a Filipino relative that made pancit and lumpia when we were with her. Always delicious but never tried it til now. I tweaked a little, but this
version is just as I remember from my childhood. Now I just need to make lumpia!

Hello Deseree,

Thank you for putting this out here. The first time I tried this out, I messed it up. The second time was very tasty; my children have been begging me to make it again.
Quick question, can I use fish instead of pork?

Hi Claire, you certainly could use fish instead of pork! The cook time would change slightly since fish will take less time to cook. I’m glad to hear your kiddos like
it!

Very tasty! I tweaked it a bit, added shrimp and doubled the soyplus a 1/2 tsp of cayenne to give a little zing! Very good! Quick and easy too!

PANCIT? =D Anyway, I’ve added your blog to my reader and looking forward to all your posts!

You are so right about the recipes all being different. My Grandma made a different version than her sisters. And nothing was written down. To this day my mom (who of
course makes my Grandma’s version) doesn’t measure and asking her for the recipe is “take some of this, add some of that”. I’ve made pansit several times but only with
my mom at my shoulder giving me instructions. I really do need to write grams recipe down. (FYI, my Grams pansit, is my most favorite dish in the entire world! :)

haha I totally agree about most recipes being “a little of this and a little of that”. That is actually one of the really good things that has come out of starting this blog.
Whenever I would make something and someone would ask me for the recipe I would never have anything written down since I would never measure, but when I
started the blog that changed all of that :)
