Pancit is a Filipino noodle dish that I used to help Mom make on Thanksgiving morning. Because it is a time-consuming dish requiring a great deal of prep work, it was usually prepared only during the holidays or for special occassions. This is the singular dish to which I now attribute my knife skills. I cannot begin to tell you how many hours I spent over the years chopping, julienning, and cubing these ingredients.It goes without saying that everyone who makes pancit has their own version. Mom's recipe is my absolute favorite. Her protein (shrimp, pork, chicken) to veggie (onions, carrots, snap peas,
shittake mushrooms) ratio is perfect and all the ingredients meld together beautifully. Finished off with a squeeze of lemon I can eat a huge bowl of this stuff and still want more.(Recipe forthcoming)
