Miki Guisado

Recipe by :  Ariel Jasa,  Mandaluyong City, Philippines

Miki guisado is another variation of the pancit or noodle dishes in Manila.  It is basically cooked the same way as rice noodles or bihon and pancit canton or lo mein.


Miki are fresh noodles, they are quite salty and can easily get mushy because they are already par-cooked.

Depending on where you live (in Manila), the pancit miki in our wet market is called “pancit medium”, the large one for “lomi”, while the thin one is for “mami”.

We either wash the miki in running water or dip very briefly or in just a couple of seconds in hot boiling water to rinse off some of the salt.
