Pancit Canton

I kind of went overboard with my pancit canton. Shrimp, chicken, pork, fish balls, sausage, carrots, cabbage, celery, snow peas, everything but the kitchen sink, I threw into the noodle dish. I added so much stuff every bite is more vegetables and meat than noodles!

But hey! It's the New Year, the time for prosperity and abundance. Exactly what I wish for you, my friends, a brand New Year overflowing with new hopes and opportunities.

What is Pancit Canton Made of

There are many types of stir-fried noodle dishes in Filipino cuisine, but although meat and vegetable add-ins are mostly similar, the kind of noodles used vary. A few of the varieties we have are bihon made of rice noodles, sotanghon or cellophane noodles made of mung bean starch, and Pancit canton which are wheat noodles.

Ingredient options

Here are a few add-in choices to pull together a delicious noodle stir-fry!

  • Meat - chicken, pork, shrimp, sweet-style hamonado sausage, Chinese sausage, chicken liver, pork or beef liver, fish, squid, or meat balls, kekiam
  • Vegetables - shitake or wood ear mushrooms, snap peas, Bagiuo beans, celery, kinchay, carrots, napa cabbage, cabbage, bell peppers, green onions

Cooking tips

  • Cut the meat and veggies into uniform bite sizes to ensure fast and even cooking.
  • Stir-fries are quick meals so make sure to have everything prepped and ready to go before starting.
  • Use a wok or a wide skillet with slanted sides to prevent messy spills and to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  • To lessen the breakage of noodles, use tongs, chopsticks, or two large spoons to toss the noodles.
  • For best texture and appearance, cook the vegetables just until tender-crisp.

Serving suggestions

  • Pancit canton makes a delicious and filling midday snack or main meal. Serve with calamansi to brighten flavors and enjoy with sides of puto or pandesal.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This dish does not freeze well.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave at 2 to 3-min intervals until completely warmed through.
