Pancit Mami – Chicken Pancit Mami

Pancit mami or fresh pancit (pancit miki) mami is a version of a soupy pancit recipe. The soup is tasty because of the chicken stock or beef stock depending on your preference 🙂

In the Philippines, there are food carts or stalls where they specialized in pancit mami, arroz caldo or goto. But since there’s no such thing here in US, (I mean the turo-turo which I miss most in my homeland hehe!) I have to prepare and cook pancit mami myself if husband and I crave for it! And I must say that it’s so much better if you cook it yourself because you can make it as tasty as you want because you can put generous amount of chicken or beef unlike what you buy in stalls which are commercialized. 🙂
