Pansit Bihon

Pansit Bihon
(noodles in filipino cuisine)

     Noodles from chinese recipes have been adapted to Philippine local cuisine.  If you love international food, you will love this recipe. Every time I cook pancit, I always cook pork and chicken in already seasoned boiling water(with soy sauce, ground black pepper and salt).

 Ingredients:
 250 grams liempo/pork belly, cooked until tender 
          and cut into strips
 250 grams chicken breast, flaked

 250 grams chicken liver
 5 cloves galic, minced
 1 large onion
2 medium sized carrots, cut into julienne strips
200 grams baguio beans
1/8 cup minced kinchay/celery
1/2 kilo pansit bihon, soaked in water for 10 min and
2-3 liters of stock
1 medium sized cabbage cut into strips


Procedure:
1.  Soak pansit bihon in water for 10 minutes, drain and set aside.

2.  In a pan, put a little oil and saute garlic.

3.  Add in onion and saute until soft.

4.  Add in chicken liver and saute until lightly cooked.

5.  Add in carrots and baguio beans and saute for another 3 minutes. 

6.  Add in pork and chicken.  Season with a little salt and pepper

7.  Add cabbage and kinchay/parsley cook for another 3 minutes and remove from heat.  Set aside.

8.  In a large pan, put stock of pork and chicken until it boils (2 liters in every 1/2 kilo of pancit bihon). The stock is already seasoned with soy sauce, a little salt and pepper. Add in pancit bihon and cook until tender.  (If bihon is still not tender, add more).  Mix in meat and vegetable.
