on 8/17/2008 Thanks ehow.com for helping me out on how to make Pancit. The directions on the bag where bad. However, I put a little spin on my pancit by frying green peppers, onions, and sliced pork (because I dislike raw veggies) and sprinkled a little bit of garlic. I then cook the rice noodles seperatley of ocurse and uses a splask of terrikay sauce to give it a brown look once that was mix well enough i added the veggies/pork mix. And, as a meat dish i cooked fried chicken to go with the pancit. YUM

on 11/22/2005 You can also make a fabulous pansit with thin slices of chicken breast, or shredded chicken and chinese sausage. Chinese sausage is available at any Filipino store or Asian grocery store. Although the sausage has a high fat content, the taste is well worth it. Don't forget the Patis (fish sauce)...Just a 1/2 teaspoon is fine!

on 11/22/2005 Add a bit of lemon juice or you can purchase Toyomansi (soy sauce with calamansi) from local Asian food stores. Make this as a condiment to your pancit. YOu can also add a bit of pepper to the pancit.
