Dear Steemian Friends,
I would like to share with you a fave in our household.. this is my version of the Pancit Canton which is actually a traditional Filipino dish derived from the chinese "chow mein" that uses noodles called pancit canton. It´s a dish that is very popular everywhere in the Philippines ...particularly when there are celebrations or occasions going on in the neighborhood.
My recipe version is so easy to make, I used simple ingredients which are available in stores. Pancit canton is the prime ingredient here and this is usually available in asian supermarkets around my city. Since there is no store in Vienna selling fresh pancit noodles, I used the dried ones sold in the supermarkets and mine comes from the Philippines.
So, let´s cook!
PANCIT CANTON

Ingredients:
400 grams of pork filet cut into thin strips
1 pair of chorizo or hard sausage, sliced (optional)
400 grams or 2 packs 8 oz. dried pancit canton noodles (fresh ones are of course preferable)
2 stalks celery cut into bite pieces
1 red bell pepper, cut approximately into 2x2 cm pieces
3 cups of white cabbage cut into strips
4 medium size carrots, cut into bite pieces
1 big red or white onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch of spring onions, chopped
3 cloves crushed garlic
Soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesam oil ( optional)
Salt & pepper
Preparations:
Boil water in a deep casserole and quickly add the dried pancit canton noodles, Boil for about a minute or until noodles become soft...Do not overcook to avoid noodles getting limpy.. Drain the water and let stand for later use.
Marinate the pork filet in 1/3 cup soya sauce, season with salt & pepper and let stand for about 10 minutes..
In a pan, add 3 tablespoons sesame oil and fry the pork filet batch by batch until meat pieces are golden brown, add cooking oil to the pan if necessary. Add the cut sausages ( optional) and cook for 2 minutes more. Take meat+sausage out of the pan and place in a container and cover to keep warm, set aside for later use.
- In a deep huge casserole... heat 2 tbsps cooking oil, fry the crushed garlic, add the onions, spring onions, carrots, celery, the cut bell pepper, and the cabbage...
