How to Cook Pancit Bihon Guisado for Feasts

Since time immemorial, so many traditions from different cultures influence earlier generations of Filipinos.

You might have heard it too, as I did, that one should cook and serve foods related to having long lives during birthdays.

Agree to them or not; still, two of those foods became staples in these celebrations. You know them by the names of Spaghettis and Pancits. Today, we’ll focus on the Bihon variant of the latter.

Recently, my wife and I were assigned to cook for my father-in-law’s birthday. We thought of something special without breaking the budget. We chose to prepare a delicious Pancit Bihon Guisado for feast-like gatherings.

Although I do not have a culinary arts degree, I habit of asking for critical comments from people who’ve tasted the dishes I made. All too often, I felt satisfied with their feedbacks.

So, enough with the intro! Go ahead and try Hearty Tongue’s version of Pancit Bihon Guisado that you can prepare for feasts or banquets.

Note: What we have here is a budget-friendly Pancit Bihon Recipe designed for many servings. You can always change the serving size according to your needs.

Tools that you need

To get the job done, we'll need these basic tools to make work in the kitchen easier.

• Knives and separate chopping boards for vegetables and meat
• A Stove
• A large wok (Talyasi as we call it) with a lid cover.
• At least two cooking spatulas or spoons, or a combination of both so you can stir all the ingredients evenly and adequately.

NOTE: I've suggested a wok with a lid so we can boil our water faster. But if the wok doesn't have one, that will not hinder us from proceeding with our instructions.
