Pancit Bihon! (Pansit Bijon)
Most certainly, ALL Filipinos know this one and had their taste buds enjoying this delicacy. It is an introduction by the Chinese during contemporary times, and has been adopted on every local cuisine throughout the islands. Pansit, is the Filipino term for noodles, though it got its name from the Hokkien (Chinese dialect) words "pian i sit" meaning conveniently cooked fast. Living to its name and its Chinese roots, Pansit can be cooked more or less a quarter of an hour.
One of the most famous and most common variation of pansit has to be pansit bihon. Pansit bihon uses thin noodles and is stir-fried with chunks of meat and vegetables. It is commonly cooked in households and even sold in karinderyas (small canteens) and costing only Php 10.00 (18 US cents) per serving.
Yesterday, they made pansit bihon because it was the afternoon snack for the conference my mother is catering. They gave me some and so it is time for me to take pictures and give it way to my blog. Pansit is very easy to make and cooks very fast.
