Bihon Rice Sticks – Essential in Filipino Cuisine
Discover the versatility of Bihon Rice Sticks from Monika, also known as rice vermicelli. These thin, light rice noodles are an essential ingredient in Filipino cuisine and form the base of the iconic dish Pancit Bihon.
Authentic Filipino Comfort Food
Pancit Bihon is a popular traditional dish made of stir-fried rice noodles combined with a rich mix of vegetables, meat, or seafood. It is often served at birthdays and festive occasions, as noodles in the Philippines symbolize a long and prosperous life.
Easy and Quick to Use
Bihon Rice Sticks from Monika are already steamed and pre-cooked during production, making them very convenient to use:
For stir-fry dishes:
Soak the noodles briefly in water until soft. Be careful not to soak them too long, so they retain their texture while stir-frying.
For soups:
No soaking needed—add the noodles directly to the broth.
This makes it easy to prepare an authentic meal in no time.
Deliciously Crispy Too
Besides boiling or stir-frying, Bihon Rice Sticks can also be deep-fried at 175°C (350°F). The thin vermicelli puff up quickly and become wonderfully crispy—perfect as a topping for salads, soups, or Asian dishes for extra crunch.
Versatile and Indispensable
Whether you’re cooking a classic Filipino dish or experimenting creatively with Asian ingredients, Bihon Rice Sticks from Monika belong in every kitchen. Light, versatile, and full of culinary possibilities.
