作法
- 米粉以溫水浸泡8分鐘至軟而仍有彈性，瀝乾備用。
- 中大火將油倒入炒鍋或寬深平底鍋。爆香蒜末與洋蔥90秒，下雞肉炒3分鐘至剛熟，加入蝦仁與臘腸再炒60秒。
- 用漏勺將所有料撈出，鍋中油留下。下紅蘿蔔、高麗菜與豌豆莢，炒2分鐘至剛塌軟。撈出備用。
- 倒入高湯、醬油與魚露，煮至微滾。下浸軟的米粉，輕輕翻拌——米粉會吸足湯汁，由白轉為琥珀色。每隔片刻翻動一下，共炒4分鐘；若太乾可再淋一些高湯。
- 將雞肉、蝦仁與臘腸料連同蔬菜回鍋，整體翻拌90秒，撒入黑胡椒粉。
- 盛入大寬盤，撒上油蔥酥與青蔥片，旁邊擺上卡拉曼西橘。米粉本就是要在碗中淋上一道擠出的卡拉曼西汁——這道菲律賓的提味從不省略。

文化背景
Pancit bihon是菲律賓最普及的麵料理——家家有家家的版本，沒有pancit的菲律賓派對嚴格說來不算派對。這道菜在生日場合的象徵意義（長麵＝長壽）被認真看待，吃前剪斷麵條被視為觸霉頭。菲律賓的華菲餐廳會在派對上端出整盤pancit，與烤乳豬（lechon）和春捲（lumpia）同列宴席主角。各地略有調整：邦板牙加更多蔬菜，維薩亞斯多放豬肉，民答那峨偏辣。
