Amber Bihon Guisado price, serving size and recipe

Amber Bihon Guisado is a well-loved Filipino noodle dish made with thin rice noodles (bihon), meat, and vegetables. Unlike Miki-Bihon Guisado, which combines two types of noodles, this dish uses only bihon, giving it a light yet flavorful taste.
This dish has its roots in Chinese cuisine, brought to the Philippines by early settlers. Over time, Filipinos adapted it to their own taste, making it a staple in local celebrations. It is commonly served during birthdays, parties, and family gatherings because noodles symbolize long life and prosperity.
Amber’s version stands out for its savory, well-seasoned flavors and perfect noodle texture. Whether you enjoy it as a main dish or a side with rice, it’s a satisfying meal that’s easy to love.
