Pansit Bihon Gisado Topped with Bacon

Pansit Bihon Gisado Topped with Bacon. Who do not like crisp bacon? Would you like to be more creative with your pansit bihon gisado? Top it with bacon. The dish just come out casually when I noticed that I have still half of the bacon the I used in my Cabbage and Bacon Pinoy Style, Ginisang Repolyo with Bacon.

To make my Pansit Bihon Gisado Topped with Bacon, I elected to make my pansit bihon tostado style. The bihon was cooked with generous amount of cooking oil and very less broth. The bihon noodles are stirfried at low to moderate heat to avoid being burned. The secret is to cover the wok in-between stirfry and let the noodles steamed cooked from the trapped evaporating liquid.

Here is the recipe of my Pansit Bihon Gisado Topped with Bacon.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo bihon noodles

1 cup boiled pork, cut into large strips or cubes

1 cup small size shrimp, shelled

100 grams streak bacon, cut into rectangles

1 medium size carrot, skinned, cut into thin strips
