Tips
- Noodle Know-How: Be careful not to overcook your pancit noodles. The key is to keep them just tender - they'll continue cooking slightly when mixed with hot vegetables.
- Vegetable Prep Matters: Cut your vegetables into uniform, thin pieces to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- High Heat is Your Friend: Use a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat to get that perfect slightly crispy texture on your vegetables.
- Soy Sauce Secrets: Add soy sauce gradually and taste as you go. You can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Make It Your Own: Feel free to add protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make this dish even more substantial.
- Serving Suggestion: For an authentic touch, serve with a slice of lemon or calamansi on the side to add a bright, citrusy kick just before eating.
