The noodles used for cooking pancit vary depends on the type of pancit cooked (pancit bihon, pancit malabon, pancit canton, pancit guisado, pancit sotanghon)

Pancit has Chinese origins and came from the Hokkien phrase "pian i sit" which means something convenient/cooked fast.

3. Monggo

5. Champorado with Tuyo (Sardines Seca)

The pudding is best paired with fried tuyo because of the contrast between the sweetness of the pudding and saltiness of the fish.
