Pancit Canton (chinese Style Pancit)

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, diced very fine or pressed with a garlic press
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced into disks
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced, fried until crisp, than drained
  • 1 cup leftover diced pork or chicken
  • 2 hardboiled eggs (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shrimp/dried shrimp, soaked overnight (optional again)
  • lemon slices
  • 1 package Chinese yellow noodles (labeled as egg noodles, Cantonese noodles
  • or pancit noodles) - prepared according to pkg directions and drained

Instructions

Take the pan or wok in which you have fried the Chinese sausage. There should be a bit of oil left in it (no one ever said Filipino food was good for you) so add a tbsp more of cooking oil. Heat and fry the garlic until it is lightly browned. Remove the garlic and set on a paper towel. Lower the heat and stir fry the carrots. After about a minute, add the celery, then the leftover meat and or the shrimp. Add the noodles (as well as a bit more oil if the pan needs it- it helps to use a non stick pan) and chow (stir at high heat) until thoroughly mixed. (salt and pepper to taste at this point) Place in a serving dish and top with fried garlic and sliced hardboiled eggs if you wish. Squeeze lemon juice over your portion (to taste) before eating. p.s. I tend to use much more garlic than 4 cloves, but hey- I like the stuff. Also, during parties- pancit can be topped with all sorts of fancy/exotic ingredients such as clams, mussels, Chinese century eggs, ground peanuts etc. and made with other noodles such as rice stick noodles etc. Experiment with what works for you- that's what Filipino cooking is all about. Pancit is basically garlic fried noodles with lemon juice on top :)
