A NOTE FROM THE KITCHEN

Bihon noodles vary by brand.

Choose very thin dried rice noodles labeled bihon or rice vermicelli. Check the packet for soaking guidance and stop while the strands are still a little firm: they finish cooking in stock. This is a chicken-and-vegetable home version; other pancit preparations include pork or seafood.
