This vegan pancit is a special recipe for me. Growing up, my mom always made huge trays of pancit for holidays, birthday parties, BBQs, and any other celebration you can think of. It’s one of those Filipino dishes that everyone truly loves! While many recipes call for either bihon or canton noodles, this recipe uses both because that’s how my mom always made it! I love the texture of both of the noodles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Vegan Filipino Picadillo

vegan giniling (aka filipino picadillo)

This vegan Giniling, also known as Filipino Picadillo, is the ultimate comfort food! It’s rich and savory, with the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and tangy.

Picadillo comes from the Spanish word picar, meaning to mince or chop. It is a traditional dish in many Latin American countries and the Philippines. In the Philippines, picadillo is commonly made with ground beef or pork, potatoes, onions, and garlic, and cooked in a rich tomato sauce. Depending  on the region, different ingredients such as raisins, carrots, and olives are added. It can be either soupy or more dry. Usually, the drier version is called giniling.

Growing up, we always had the ingredients for giniling on hand – and there was always a pot of rice in the rice cooker – so this dish was prepared often as it was easy, minimal, and fairly quick to make.

I have so many fond memories of this dish and I’m so happy I’m still able to enjoy it vegan! Grab a drink and let’s get to cooking the best vegan giniling!
