Filipino pancit is a stir-fry of meat and vegetables with noodles mixed in. This low carb chicken version replaces the rice noodles with spaghetti squash. Roast the spaghetti squash in the oven: Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
For just about every Filipino family out there someone has a recipe for Pancit, a stir-fried noodle dish with meat and vegetables. Since Pancit literally means noodles there are many different versions of this dish out there and no two families make it the same. I knew my dad knew the recipe so I gave him a call.
Another one of my favorite low carb Filipino recipes is chicken adobo. It’s so popular, it’s known as the unofficial dish of the Philippines. You may also like the slow cooked pork belly adobo or the Filipino style eggplant burgers. I’ve also been known to enjoy garlic cauliflower fried rice which is a favorite for breakfast.
NOODLES: Traditionally, pancit is made with vermeclli rice noodles. The great thing about most rice noodles is that they simply need to soak rather than boil so it saves some time! That being said, you could use udon noodles, chow mein or pancit canton noodles if you can find them.
