Pancit is my Waterloo.
My friends and family know that. It is my favorite but I do not know how to cook good pancit. It is either too salty or does not have any taste at all.
When my Mom was still alive, she would often beg me to stop experimenting.
"Lia! Stop cooking Pancit! Hindi masarap!!!!"
Hahahahahaha. Just like this afternoon, I told PD that I would send her Pancit.
She declined the offer but I said, "I am experimenting with a new recipe!"
Her reply was, "Do I have a choice?"
I think I redeemed myself!
The Pancit experiment was a success! PD even called to say it was good!
I was browsing online the whole day for a very uncomplicated recipe and I found one!
It was from filipinofoodrecipes.org. I took screen shots of the recipe.
Uh OH! Hahahahahaha
I did not follow the measurement of the meat because I like more noodles than "other things" in my Pancit.
