The recipes can vary and are often adaptations of other Filipino pancit dishes. It has two main types, a broth version, and a stir-fried (guisado) version. The latter often uses latik and coconut oil derived from coconut cream (kakang gata).[2][3][4][5] Pancit buko is commonly served directly on an opened coconut shell.[6]

The dish originates independently from the Tagalog people (specifically from Quezon and Laguna), and the Visayan people. The Visayan versions of the dish differ from the Tagalog versions in that it sometimes includes wheat noodles.[1]
