Mama Sita's Pansit Bihon (Rice Noodle Stir Fry) Mix 40g

Mama Sita's Pansit Bihon mix for rice noodle stir fry

Mama Sita's Pansit Bihon Mix is a 40g packet of seasoning for a Filipino rice noodle stir fry. The existing listing calls it a homestyle Filipino recipe mix and describes noodles with a garlicky flavour, with shrimp and chicken suggested as possible additions. Soy sauce powder, garlic powder, black pepper and paprika appear in the displayed ingredients. This is the seasoning to cook into a noodle dish, not a packet of noodles or a finished meal, so it gives you a starting point while leaving the rest of the plate to you.

The product information names the Philippines as its country of origin. If you are already making pansit bihon, the dish name on the packet helps you identify the mix; if you are browsing ideas, the rice noodle stir fry description tells you where it fits. Explore our Filipino groceries collection for other cupboard choices, and browse the noodles collection for noodles to cook with it. A 40g seasoning packet is a single retail product, so the vegetables, protein, noodles and garnishes in the recipe need to be selected separately.

Cook pansit bihon with noodles and vegetables

According to the existing preparation directions, dissolve one 40g packet of the mix in 500ml of water before adding it to the pan. The old recipe starts by sautéing garlic and onion in oil, then adding shrimp. It goes on to bring the dissolved mix to a boil, add mixed vegetables and cook them briefly before adding the noodles. Continue until the noodles are tender, adding water as necessary. That is a summary of the listing's cooking example, not a guarantee of how long your particular noodles or other ingredients will take. Check both the seasoning packet and noodle packet for their current directions.

The page suggests carrots, green beans and cabbage as vegetable options, with fish sauce and calamansi or lemon on the side and fried garlic as an optional garnish. Cook any shrimp or chicken thoroughly if you include them. You can use the recipe as a guide and adapt the additions to your household rather than assuming the mix contains them. For an ingredient mentioned in the recipe, browse our cooking oil collection. If you want to explore condiments for serving, see our sauces collection. The dry mix contains salt and soy sauce powder, so consider that before adding extra seasoning to the finished dish.

Shop Filipino noodle seasoning at Asian Grocery UK

Asian Grocery UK lists this Mama Sita's mix with both Pansit Bihon and rice noodle stir fry in the name. That helps distinguish a 40g flavouring packet from plain rice noodles on your shopping list. Browse our seasoning and ingredients collection if you are putting together other meals too. The current listing says to store the unopened packet in a cool, dry place; look at the actual packet for the best before date and any updated storage instructions.

The displayed ingredient line contains wheat and soy within the soy sauce powder, so this is not a suitable choice for someone avoiding those allergens unless the actual label says otherwise. The older allergen note merely says to see ingredients in bold, but the visible ingredients are not bold. Check the physical pack before using it for anyone with a food allergy. Nutrition below is reported per 100g of dry mix, not per packet or serving of cooked noodles, and the final dish will depend on what you add. The value of this product is a named seasoning base for the dish you make, with the noodles and finishing touches still in your hands.
