Pansit is made of rice noodles and it is stir fry together with meat and vegestables.  Noodles were introduced into the Philippines  by the Chinese and have since been adopted into local cuisine. The term pansit is derived from the Hokkien, a chinese dialect " pian i sit"  which means "something conveniently cooked fast".
