English Philipino Pancit Bihon (1 Cup)

Reduce the pancit bihon portion and fill at least half your plate with non-starchy vegetables such as bok choy, cabbage, broccoli, green beans, mushrooms, or bell peppers.

Add a substantial protein serving to the meal, such as chicken, eggs, shrimp, fish, tofu, or tempeh, and eat it before or alongside the noodles.

Ask for extra vegetables and less bihon when ordering; avoid adding sweet sauces, sugar, or sweetened drinks to the meal.

Choose a broth-based vegetable soup or a side salad with vinegar-based dressing before the pancit to help slow the meal’s glucose rise.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating, if safe for you, rather than remaining seated.

If you check glucose, test your response to a smaller noodle serving and use the result to identify a portion that is better tolerated.
