Pancit buko (Tagalog for "young coconut noodles", also known as pancit butong in Visayan) is a Filipino dish made from very thin strips of young coconut (buko) meat with various spices, vegetables, and meat or seafood. It is a type of Filipino noodle dish (pancit), even though it usually does not include traditional noodles.[1]
Recipes vary and often adapt other Filipino pancit dishes. It has two main types: a broth version and a stir-fried (guisado) version. The stir-fried version often uses latik and coconut oil derived from coconut cream (kakang gata).[2][3][4][5] Pancit buko is commonly served directly in an opened coconut shell.[6]
The dish originates independently from both the Tagalog people, specifically from Quezon and Laguna, and the Visayan people. Visayan versions sometimes include wheat noodles, distinguishing them from the Tagalog versions.[1]
