How Pancit Trio Differs from Other Pancit Dishes

Unlike other pancit varieties that use a single type of noodle, Pancit Trio uniquely blends three different noodles, creating a multi-textured dish. This variation provides a more complex mouthfeel and better absorption of the savory sauce, making it richer in flavor.

The Three Components: Bihon, Canton, and Sotanghon

• Bihon (Rice Noodles): Thin and delicate, bihon noodles soak up the dish’s sauces well, offering subtle yet essential flavor.
• Canton (Egg Noodles): These hearty noodles add a robust texture and act as the backbone of the trio.
• Sotanghon (Glass Noodles): Light and translucent, sotanghon noodles bring a unique chewiness to the mix.

Together, these noodles create balance: bihon for softness, canton for firmness, and sotanghon for elasticity.
