Note: Filipino noodles or Pansit recipes are most often served with lumpia(eggrolls) as a combo meal. If you prefer it as your snack, puto(steamed rice cake) or sinapot(maruya) on the side, and spicy vinegar and fish sauce will truly perk you appetite. Adding “Dinuguan” to Pansit Bato is also a great idea.
