Pansit Canton (Filipino) Recipe
I was recently introduced to Filipino cooking. It is a fusion of Chinese, European, American, Arab and Asian cuisines, rich in flavor and color. Adobo Chicken is probably the most well known and another favorite is Pansit Bihon. I haven't seen Pansit Canton on CES, so here it is. It may have quite a few ingredients, but it's not complicated to create. Pansit (noodles) are commonly served at birthday celebrations and represent long life and good health; they must not be cut short so as not to corrupt the symbolism.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pansit Canton noodles (flour noodles or flour sticks)
- 1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth

- 1 carrot, diced
- 1/4 cup scallions, diced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

- Add sliced pork until cooked
- Add 2 cups of chicken broth
- Add the shredded chicken, sliced Chinese sausages, shrimps, snow peas, cabbage, celery and diced carrot.

August 18, 2010Thanks Jane, I hope you think it tastes amazing, too. If you go to my website, there's another Filipino recipe (similar) that has less ingredients. I made it last week and even loved eating the leftovers! So good and very easy. http://www.cucinananette.blogspot.com
