Mom’s Holiday Pancit

Nutrition professor shares her family recipe

Growing up in Northern Virginia, Monica Esquivel didn't have many opportunities to enjoy Filipino food. So her mom made it a point to have Filipino food at their holiday celebrations every year.

"Since we didn't have Filipino food very often, it became something of a tradition to look forward to – and a way to feel connected to our family in the Philippines,” says Monica, a dietetics professor in the Dept. of Human Nutrition Food and Animal Sciences.

Enjoy this holiday recipe from the Esquivel family!

1 8 oz package of thin rice noodles, soaked in water until soft
1/4 onion, sliced
