Notes

Alternative ingredients:

Chinese sausage: This is also known as "Chorizo Macau". You can also make use of this ingredient in addition to the proteins listed in the recipe above. This will add flavor to your pancit. Slice it crosswise into thin pieces before sauteeing with the chicken and pork in step 2.

Snap Peas: While peas can be optional for this recipe, you can use snap peas an alternative for snow peas.

Bell Peppers: I personally know some home cooks that add bell peppers to their pancit. It is not common in traditional Filipino pancit, but more of a preference. Feel free to use if desired.
