Notes

  • The noodles cook in the broth, not in water. That is the whole method, and it is why pancit tastes of something all the way through.
  • Cook the vegetables separately and return them at the end, or they turn to pulp while the noodles soften.
  • Pancit is a birthday dish across the Philippines: long noodles for long life, and they are never cut.
