One of the variations of the Pancit, the local term for noodles in the Philippines, is the miki. This dish, though not as popular as the Pancit Canton or Pancit Bihon, still has its distinct taste and characteristic that has people craving and wanting more. The dish was introduced to us by the Chinese and literally means “something conveniently cooked fast”.

Pancit Miki uses fresh and thick egg noodles. In comparison to the other types of noodles, it is a little thinner than Pancit Lomi noodles, and a little thicker than the Pancit Mami noodles. This noodle can either be cooked as a soup or stir-fried. Pancit Miki Guisado is cooked stir-fried, similar to Pancit Canton. It can also be cooked with a wide variety of ingredients like chicken, pork, vegetables and seafood.

The noodles are refrigerated, and must be used within several days or else they will not be good anymore. They also cook really fast, on the average around 5 minutes is adequate, and they should have a little chewy consistency. Ideally, it is best if the noodles are fresh, but pre-packaged and dried ones will still taste great.

This meal is usually served during birthdays for long life, and other special occasions. It can be eaten by itself or paired with bread. Yummy!
