Pancit Lusay is a type of stir fried noodle dish popular in Ilocos, Philippines where lusay noodles are cooked with Laoag longaniza, sliced tomatoes, egg, onions and garlic then seasoned with some bagoong. Lusay noodles are the noodle scraps from the fresh noodles where its cut and length vary, another trait of the Ilocos cuisine where nothing gets wasted. If you tried other Filipino pancit dishes this one is quite different, the longganisa and bagoong alamang gives this dish a very distinctive flavour that cannot be found on other noodle dishes. Having tried a lot of Asian noodles I can say this taste nearly similar to some Malaysian or Indonesian fried noodles that uses belachan/terasi and eggs, its pungent and fishy delicious.

Have you tried something like this? What are your thoughts on the recipe? I have been compiling Filipino noodle dishes and this is one of my new discoveries, how about you do you have other pancit recipes that you can share which we haven’t posted yet? Let us know.
