WATCH: How To Cook Pancit Sotanghon Guisado

 

It's apt that when Pinoys aren't having steamed rice for their meal, noodles is the next best thing to serve. Sotanghon is made from rice flour and when cooked, takes on a translucent quality. It absorbs liquid ingredients well, making it easy to flavor with your choice of broth. This pancit dish is something you can have for merienda or as a main dish!
