Low-Calorie Vegetarian Filipino Pancit

Recipesfull introduces to you: Filipino Recipes. (Low-Calorie Vegetarian Filipino Pancit). Growing up with a Filipino mother, I had the pleasure of eating a lot of great Filipino recipes that, at the time, I took for granted. Pancit was just a side dish at special meals. My mother loves it. It always appeared on special occasions like Christmas or Thanksgiving, but never for dinner on any other day. Now I crave Filipino food daily. So when I have the chance to incorporate it into any old dinner, I will. Garnish with sesame seeds, scallions, or nuts.
