Pancit Bihon

This is one of my many favorites filipino food!  I am going to try to make this for our Christmas get together here in Summerville.  I didn’t know what kind of dish to bring and saw this and right then, I knew what I was going to make! This is really easy and tasty dish to make and you can add chicken, pork or shrimp – depends on what you feel like. Of course, chicken is cheaper to do, but we will see what I do .  The description for this dish = Pansit Bihon – a thin white rice noodle dish with chicken, scallions, carrots, soy sauce…
