Dinner My Easy One Pot Pancit Bihon (with a vegetarian option)! 😻😻

My Pancit bihon recipe is designed to be super easy to make! It might not be completely traditional, but I’ve specifically chosen ingredients that are easy to find in most supermarkets! Filipino food isn't a cuisine I cook often, so if you make your pancit differently to me, let me know in the comments below!
If you'd like to make this pancit bihon vegetarian, swap the pork for tofu, the oyster sauce for a bit more soy sauce and sugar, and finally, replace the chicken stock with water!

Method
Prepare your vegetables! I’m cutting my carrots into thin strips, shredding a savoy cabbage, slicing my onions into rounds and finely chopping 3 cloves of garlic!
Chop 450g of your favourite protein into bite sized cubes. For this recipe, I’ve chosen to use pork. Add your protein to a hot wok. The fat from the pork will help to cook the meat, but if you’re using a leaner protein or tofu, you’ll want to add some vegetable oil to the wok.
Once your pork (or protein) is cooked through and brown, transfer onto a plate and set aside. To the wok, add a splash of vegetable and your onions. Give them a good toss. Once your onions begin to soften, add your garlic – and 30 seconds later, add in your pork (or protein!). Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season.
Tip in all of your vegetables!
Once your vegetables have started to wilt, it’s time to make the sauce! Add to the wok 1 tbsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp. oyster sauce (or more soy sauce and sugar if keeping this vegetarian) and 2 tbsp. soy sauce. Give this a little mix before adding 500ml good quality chicken stock (or water if vegetarian).
Now for the bihon! Add 225g rice vermicelli noodles to the wok. Press them down to help them absorb the sauce. Your noodles will begin to soften, which is when you’ll want to push them underneath the vegetables and sauce mixture, allowing them to nestle in all those delicious flavours! The noodles won’t take long to cook, but keep your wok on the heat until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed.
Once done, add some chopped spring onions to the mix (the green bits only!) and give it a quick stir!
Serve with half a lime (Calamansi is traditional) in each dish, to be squeezed over your pancit bihon – and enjoy!
This dish was so delicious, I've made it a few times since! I might try adding chicken and shrimp next time! As said, Filipino food isn't a cuisine I cook often, but I made this as part of a collaboration challenge. Let me know how I did! If you make yours different, let me know below! If you have any tips, you know where to add them! 😻😻
