Pancit Miki Bihon for Fiesta Salu-Salos

Fiestas are a significant component of Filipino culture. On this day (or throughout the week!), locals celebrate and thank the town’s patron saint for a year of blessings. The festivities typically start in the morning with games and parades, then extend beyond midnight with performances and contests. But for many households, the real highlight is the salu-salo featuring hearty and indulgent dishes like lechon, caldereta, and miki bihon.

Pancit is the ultimate fiesta food. It cooks in minutes and easily feeds an entire barangay. No one can say no to a plate of miki bihon guisado overflowing with colorful veggies and proteins – it’s a party in the tummy!

Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil
1 pc red onion, sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, chopped
250 g pork belly, skin removed and sliced thinly

2 tbsp finely chopped kinchay

Cooking Method

Heat oil in a wok. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add pork and cook until browned.
Sauté liver and shrimp until fully cooked.
Add carrots, water, Knorr Shrimp Cubes, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper. Let simmer.
Add noodles and partially cook. Stir in cabbage and kinchay.
Continue simmering until the liquid is reduced and the noodles are tender. Add more water if needed. Transfer to a platter or a bilao. Serve with calamansi and Knorr Liquid Seasoning on the side.

You can’t plan your handaan lineup without pancit. Often, this dish can stand on its own and satisfy without much fanfare. But if you feel your miki bihon needs a sidekick, you can pair it with pandesal sandwiches, pork barbecue, or fried lumpia for a truly filling feast. And don’t forget about dessert! A tub of fruity ice cream will do, but you can also take the traditional route and prepare leche flan, ube halaya, or crema de fruta. Happy fiesta!
