Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh canton noodles
- 1 medium carrots julienned
- ½ head cabbage shredded
- ½ cup green beans sliced diagonal
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb. pork thinly sliced
- 6 pieces fish balls cut into halves
- 2 tablespoon oil
For Stir frying Veggies
- 1½ tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ¼ cup water
To Cook Noodles
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon chicken powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the fish balls until cooked and lightly browned. Remove from oil and set aside.
- In over medium heat pan, add 1½ tablespoon of oil and fry pork until tender. Push pork to the side and sauté half of onion and garlic until fragrant.
- Stir in carrots and green beans. Stir for 2 minutes. Pour in water, soy sauce and oyster sauce and bring it to simmer. Once simmer, add cabbage and cook for another few minutes. Set it aside.
- In the same pan, add ½ tablespoon of oil. Sautè the remaining onion and garlic. Pour in chicken broth (See Note 1), soy sauce, oyster sauce and brown sugar and bring it to simmer.
- Toss the fresh noodles (For Dry Noodles, See Note 2.) into the pan with the sauce and stir-fry until the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and heated through. Be gentle to avoid breaking the noodles. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add back the meat and vegetables and the fish balls. Transfer the Pancit Canton Guisado to a serving platter.
- Serve hot with calamansi wedges on the side. Squeeze calamansi juice/lime over the noodles before eating for a tangy flavor.
Notes
- Note 1. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of chicken powder with 1 cup hot water.
- Note 2. Dry Noodles tend to absorb liquid quickly (please check recipe here for dry noodles). When cooked, they soak up the sauces and seasonings, which adds flavor and prevents from being bland. Please make sure to add more broth if needed.
- Cooking Tips
- Prep all the ingredients including veggies and meat beforehand.Cut veggies in uniform size.
- I suggest to cut meat into smaller pieces as they cook quicker.
- This recipe uses fresh pancit canton noodles, means shorter time cooking needed.
- You can use snow peas or snap peas instead of green beans.
- Adjust seasonings based on your personal taste preferences.
