A classic Filipino birthday dish, Pancit Canton features chewy egg noodles stir-fried with tender meat, crisp vegetables, and a savory soy-based sauce. It's believed that eating long noodles symbolizes a long life.
🧂 Ainekset

- 30 ml Oyster sauce(Adds depth and umami to the sauce.)

Prepare the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the Canton noodles and cook according to package directions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until al dente (tender but still firm to the bite). Be careful not to overcook, as they will cook further in the stir-fry. Drain the noodles thoroughly and rinse briefly with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, and black pepper. Set aside.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Stir-fry the aromatics and meat: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and stir-fry until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add the thinly sliced pork and stir-fry until it's no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes. If using shrimp, add them now and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the cooked meat and shrimp from the wok and set aside.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 4
Stir-fry the vegetables: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same wok. Add the julienned carrots and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp. Add the shredded cabbage and snow peas (or green beans) and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant. You want them to retain some crunch.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Combine and finish: Return the cooked pork and shrimp to the wok with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over everything. Add the drained Canton noodles to the wok. Toss gently but thoroughly to combine all ingredients and coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors and heat through. Ensure everything is well mixed and heated.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Serve: Transfer the Pancit Canton to a serving platter. Serve immediately with calamansi or lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the noodles, which adds a bright, citrusy finish.
