A staple in every Filipino gathering, the Pancit Bihon (or Bihon Guisado) - top my list of favorite dishes. It's a very simple dish that can be cooked in every which way.

Noodle options:
Rice vermicelli (rice stick noodles?), I like to use Super Q brand because they're conveniently packed in square pads.
Egg noodles/Miki (fresh ones can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery)
Combination of both (Miki-Bihon)
Topping options are endless. You'll usually find bihon in small hole-in-the-wall canteens topped with cheap ingredients, like chicken bits, squid balls, kikiam slices and chorizo slices. In more upscale restaurants, an addition of liver (chin, pork or both) and some seafood picks like squid slices and shrimp can be found. Of course, the vegetables remain constant: carrots, cabbage and Baguio beans.



This was my version of pancit bihon, when I cooked it a few days ago.
