When it was time for me to think about new dishes to create and make clean, I decided that I should try a whole food version of homemade pancit. Pancit is a rice noodle dish….a great Filipino dish that is really popular, but simple to make. I’ve not really made any Filipino dishes before. I had never been exposed to them.
But this dish was perfect for me to try because I really love to try new foods. This was one that I had not even heard of before! I was surprised at how easy this dish was to prepare and how quickly I could fix it.
Now, the version of Pancit that I made is slightly different than some traditional Pancit. Traditional pancit calls for cabbage and fish sauce. Instead of cabbage, I used green peppers. And I’m not a fan of fish at all. I know that is shocking for some of my fish-loving followers. I’ve just never had a big taste for fish. Some fish are just too…fishy for my taste buds. Some recipes call for pork tenderloin and chicken, but I just used chicken. It was very yummy and made for great leftovers too!!
This homemade pancit recipe is naturally gluten-free….bonus!
