About
Growing up,I knew that Pancit is associated with long life.Part of our tradition and culture is to prepare Pancit during any form of celebration especially birthday and anniversary.Until now,my mother-in-law reminds me to cook Pancit whenever my son or my daughter celebrates their birthday.The good old Pancit Bihon..but you know what?I never wait for any occasion,I cook it anytime I want it.Here's my recipe of Pancit Bihon,this is very personal and because I learned it alone and believe me,cooking Pancit is easy but the authentic taste is quite difficult to achieve.There should be balance between all the ingredients and the most important things to consider:the amount and combination of soy sauce and the way the noodles is cooked.
