What is Pancit Sotanghon Guisado?

The history of Pancit Sotanghon Guisado traces back to the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines. This delectable dish has its roots in the Filipino culture, where noodles play a significant role in traditional cuisine. “Pancit” refers to any noodle dish, and “sotanghon” specifically refers to the transparent, delicate glass noodles used in this recipe.

Historically, noodles were introduced to the Philippines by Chinese immigrants, and over time, they became an integral part of Filipino cooking. Pancit dishes like Sotanghon Guisado evolved as a result of cultural fusion, blending Chinese culinary techniques with local ingredients and flavors.

Pancit Sotanghon Guisado typically combines ingredients that reflect the diversity of the Philippines – chicken, vegetables, and often, chicken liver. The sautéing process imparts a unique aroma and taste, while the use of soy sauce and other seasonings adds depth to the flavor profile.

This dish has become a staple at Filipino gatherings, celebrations, and everyday meals, showcasing the heartwarming essence of Filipino hospitality. Pancit Sotanghon Guisado carries not only the flavors of the Philippines but also the stories and traditions that have been passed down through generations, making it a beloved and cherished part of Filipino cuisine.

Pancit Sotanghon Guisado

We cant really deny why Filipino’s love the pancit and bread and the pancit and rice combination. Although frowned upon by other countries because we are having carbs on carbs, this type of combinations means a longer life for us with a bonus of a very yummy and filling meal.

While there are a lot of Pinoy noodles, the pancit sotanghon guisado is my ninang’s favorite. Many are confused with the bihon and sotanghon but if you’re a bonafide Pinoy, the two are very distinct in nature. Sotanghon noodles are much light and chewy and in best in absorbing broths.

If you wanna know how to make pancit sotanghon guisado, read and follow the simple steps below. Happy cooking!

How to cook Pancit Sotanghon Guisado

Preparing a delicious Pancit Sotanghon Guisado is very quick and simple. If you have tried making other noodle dishes in the past, then this recipe will be super easy for you.

To start, place the glass noodles in a large bowl and soak them in warm water for a few minutes until they’re soft and pliable. Unlike other noodles which are boiled, soaking the sotanghon beforehand makes it faster to fully cook for later.

While the noodles soak, heat oil in a pan and add the chopped garlic and onion. Saute them briefly until they become fragrant. Then, add the chicken breast and cook until it changes color. If you have extra time for preparation, a hack is to marinate the chicken beforehand in soy sauce for extra flavor.

Once the chicken is ready, toss in the sliced chicken liver, and sprinkle some black pepper for an added kick. Add the snow peas, carrots, and the cabbage. To make chopping easier, try using a food processor. After putting the cabbage in the pan, it might look full for a while but the cabbage shrinks once heated. After a quick saute, set aside the chicken and veggies.

In a small bowl, extract the color from the atsuete seeds using water, or simplify by using atsuete powder. Strain the seeds for a vibrant hue. Now, in the same pan, add 2 cups of water, chicken broth cube,  soy sauce, oyster sauce, and the atsuete water. You may adjust the ingredients depending on your liking. This broth will be the sauce of the pancit sotanghon once fully absorbed so make sure to do a quick taste test.  Bring it to a boil and add the softened vermicelli noodles. Save time by using pre-made chicken broth.

During the last minute of cooking, add back the cooked chicken and veggies. Toss gently until the sauce dries up. Finally, serve your Pancit Sotanghon Guisado on a plate. Elevate it with chicharon bits, sliced boiled eggs, and fresh spring onions for added crunch and color. Don’t forget a squeeze of fresh calamansi on the side for a burst of citrusy goodness. With these simple hacks, you’re ready to savor every bite of your flavorful Pancit Sotanghon Guisado. Yum!
