Pancit Bihon Guisado Recipe (Rice Stick Noodles with Vegetables)

This dish is commonly served during family celebrations and even in small catering stores as merienda. The first time I cooked this was really quite a disaster but thanks to my mother-in-law (she was good in cooking) at least I am confident and satisfied now in preparing it.
