    Pancit is an all time favorite dish of mine, I grew up eating it. This recipe did a great job of duplicating it. I love that it makes such a large batch. My only changes: I left out the mushrooms and had lime (or lemon) wedges for squeezing onto it at the table (absolutely essential!!!) - 9/6/09

    this was very good. I used the wide rice noodles rather than the tradional vermicelli sytle. Still delicious and filling. Boyfriend really enjoyed it too! - 10/21/08

    I love pancit! There are many kinds of pancit actually, and here in Bicol province in the Philippines, they have pansit bato, which has chili on it. Even if I just had a small serving, it was very filling and delicious! Though pansit bihon by my mother is still my favorite! Sarap maging Pinoy! - 10/12/08
