Although this is a straightforward recipe, it took me more research to put the post together. You see, Kapampangan pancit luglug is very similar to pancit palabok, so I've always thought of these two noodle dishes as the same. I thought luglug<\/em>, which means \"to submerge\" in our local dialect, is just a regional name for the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the luglug recipes I found online, however, call for THICK noodles like pancit Malabon<\/a>, which was confusing because the luglug I grew up with uses THIN bihon noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n

A visit to our neighborhood Seafood City supermarket gave me the answer.  Going through the store shelves, I found packages of THICK noodles specifically labeled pancit luglug as well as THIN noodles labeled as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it seems, Pancit luglug isn't necessarily made with thick noodles but rather of a type of noodle made of cornstarch instead of rice flour. You can use the thin or thick variety of these cornstarch noodles interchangeably with equally delicious results.<\/p>\n\n\n
