Bihon is a popular Filipino noodle dish made with thin rice noodles stir-fried with meat, vegetables, and a savory soy-based sauce. It’s a versatile and delicious dish often served during gatherings, celebrations, or as a quick meal.

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Bihon:Soak the bihon noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics:Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onions until fragrant and translucent.
