Greetings!

Today, I am going to introduce to you one of the all-time noodle dishes in my country, it is called "Pancit" or "Pansit". It is a very simple dish with simple ingredients and is easy to prepare too. It is an all-time favorite because it is commonly cooked for ordinary day snacks to birthdays, Christmas, New Year, and any day of the year. It's how versatile this dish is, you can even call it dish for all seasons.

Pancit or Pansit is brought by Chinese immigrants to the Philippines centuries ago. And from then on, Filipinos incorporate Pancit in their own cuisine making it more Filipino style. There are now wide varieties of the dish. Noodles sizes used to cook Pancit also have many varieties. Pancit noodle is commonly made with rice.
